21 Day Fix Approved : Cheesy Chicken Burritos

I saw this recipe on Pinterest.   It looked delicious.   I was NOT a fan.  After opening the cheesy rice and broccoli, it smelled terrible.

So it was time to improvise!

Here's our version of Cheesy Chicken Burritos



Ingredients:
2 servings - Brown Rice {Prepared per instructions}
1 - Chicken Bouillon Cube
4 - Whole Wheat Tortillas
1 - Chicken Breast, Shredded
Shredded Cheese
Homemade Salsa


I usually have shredded chicken already frozen in the freezer.  I make a lot at once so its ready for times like this.  If you have shredded chicken ready to go, I just warm it up on the stove with a little chicken stock so it doesn't get dried out.   If you don't have this, then you'll need to bake a chicken breast, then shred it. 

I start by making the rice per the instructions on the box.  While you are bringing the water to boil, put one chicken bouillon cube.  This gives the brown rice more a chicken flavor.

Once the rice is done, you are ready to assemble the burrito.  On the tortilla, put rice, shredded chicken, shredded cheese then some salsa on top.  Roll up the burrito and enjoy! 

It is now a family favorite.   My husband used the word "amazing" to describe his.   For something that we completely threw together, it was pretty damn good! 

Even Cooper loved it!
