Recipe: Quick & Easy Chicken, Bean & Rice Burrito with Avocado Lime Spread

This Chicken, Bean and Rice Burrito recipe is the very definition of quick and easy thanks to a few simple shortcuts. We use leftover shredded chicken as well as Trader Joe’s frozen pre-cooked brown rice packets that we can pop in the microwave for a few minutes and have ready. Then you simply mix everything in a bowl, put into tortillas, roll and grill on a skillet to seal (just make sure the rice and chicken are decently warm since they don’t take too long on the stove and you don’t want your filling to be cold!).

We love serving these burritos with our avocado lime spread but salsa is equally delicious. Even a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt would work! These burritos are kid-friendly too and make a perfect lunch to send with the kids or the hubby to work. Plus, they’re freezer friendly meaning you can totally make them ahead, wrap individually and then take out as needed! And at just over 300 calories per burrito and 13 grams of protein, it’s a great recipe you can feel good about eating that will actually fill you up thanks to the beans and rice. We got about 10 burritos (8-inches) out of this mix but it will depend on how much your fill them and what size burritos you’re using!
