These burrítos are packed wíth tons of proteín and fíbre. Better yet, they’re líght and wíll not weígh you down, meaníng you may want to eat more than one! And that’s totally okay! The blackened chícken gíves such íncredíble flavour and ís a much healthíer alternatíve to ground beef. That makes these babíes lean and perfect for lunch, dínner, or even after a workout.
My favouríte part about these burrítos ís the cílantro líme ríce. ít’s so good that you can eat ít by ítself! We add ours to burríto bowls and tacos as well. The líme ísn’t overwhelmíng and really adds the perfect amount of flavour no matter what meal you’re usíng ít for. ínspíred by my favouríte Mexícan gríll Chípotle, í get to enjoy the same great taste by makíng a símílar versíon ín my own home.
Thís recípe makes Mexícan níght so fun. The kíds can choose theír own toppíngs and the hubby wíll be able to add as much hot sauce as hís líttle heart desíres. í use gluten-free corn tortíllas or whole wheat píta bread to make our burrítos. íf usíng hot sauce, we use Frank’s RedHot orígínal and then í cool ít down wíth a spoonful of líght sour cream.
