Chicken Burritos

Chicken Burritos

I love these! Below is a basic version, with some of my favorite fillings, but of course you can fill yours with whatever you like.

*DAIRY-FREE RECIPE BELOW MAIN RECIPE

YIELD 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

        8 grain-free tortillas

        8 chicken breast tenders

      * 2 to 3 cups cauliflower rice (1/4 - 1/3 cup burrito)

        4 large mushrooms, sliced

        4 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, diced

        2 cups shredded cheddar (approx 1/4 cup per burrito)

        1 cup salsa (approx 2 tablespoons per burrito)

        1 can black beans (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

    1.     Bake chicken tenders on 350F for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through

    2.    While the chicken is cooking prepare wraps and cauliflower rice, and set aside (To keep cauliflower warm, keep covered in a pan on lowest heat, stirring occasionally. If your stove runs hot and you're worried about overcooking, put in a covered dish and wrap in a towel.)

    3.    Sauté mushroom slices on med/low until tender

    4.    Add 1/4-1/3 cup cauliflower rice, a sliced chicken tender, mushrooms, beans, jalapeños and a sprinkle of cheese

    5.    If desired, place in a sauce pan on low for a minute or two, until cheese gets melty (like any tortilla, the more you cook these, the crispier they get - careful not to overcook)

    * Unless you already have cauliflower rice on hand from a recent meal, this could add some unnecessary prep time. As much as I like it in my burritos, you could easily skip it and add something else, like peppers, tomatoes, olives, avocado...
