Chicken Burrito

Chicken Burrito

Another one dish meal from Mexican Cuisine!. We used to carry burritos as a balanced bite while traveling, locally. Burrito is a type of Mexican food, consisting of a wheat flour tortilla wrapped into a cylindrical shape to completely enclose the filling. Traditional Mexican Burritos will use multiple filling options including beans or rice. Here I used my own selections for filling; a mix of salsa, lettuce, chicken and guacamole.
