Yes, I am giving you another Mexican recipe. I am in-love, obsessed, and will never get enough of my beloved Mexican food. 

I took a walk on the healthier side with these burritos, and they turned out phenomenal! I grilled up some chicken with a little bit of seasonings, and made our favorite Mexican rice to stuff inside as well. I also added refried beans, chopped tomato and lettuce and wrapped it all inside a whole wheat tortilla.

GRILLED CHICKEN STUFFED BURRITOS

There happened to still be some Creamy Cilantro-Ranch dressing in my fridge, I had made a few days before, so we decided to dip our burritos in it. It topped them off to perfection. Seriously, I can’t wait to make these again!
