Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken
- 1.5 lb chicken tenders, boneless & skinless room temp
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- ½ lime juiced
For the Burritos (use as much of the following as you like)
- 3-4 large Flour Tortillas
- Pepper Jack Cheese shredded
- Refried Beans
- Avocado chopped
- Pickled Red Onions
- Tomatoes chopped
- Cilantro chopped
- neutral oil
Instructions
For the Grilled Chicken
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- In a small bowl, add room temp chicken tenders, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika and 2 tbsp oil. Toss together and set aside.
- Once the grill is hot, add chicken tenders and close the grill for 2-3 minutes. Open the grill and turn tenders once the bottom of the chicken pieces are golden with grill marks. Cook for another 2 minutes and check temp – the thickest pieces should read 165F when inserted with a meat thermometer.
- Remove chicken tenders from the grill and place in a clean bowl. Finish with the juice from ½ a lime. Let rest for 5 minutes then cut into bite sized pieces.
For the Burritos
- Lay out one large tortilla and add a layer (as much as you prefer) of refried beans, pepper jack cheese, chopped grilled chicken, tomatoes, pickled onions, avocado and cilantro.
- Fold opposite sides of the burrito inwards then roll it together to seal it all in. Set aside.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a little bit of oil.
- Add the burrito, seam side down, and cook until golden brown. Turn the burrito and toast on 1-2 more sides or until the burrito has a crispy crust.
- Wrap in tinfoil. Slice down the middle when you’re ready to enjoy.
Notes
Since your tortilla shells may vary in size, I didn’t put the amounts for the fillings because that will change depending on what you like/how much you want to use!
