BBQ Chicken Burritos

These burritos are my attempt at replicating my favorite burrito, which is an HB Surround Sound from Secret Spot. I’m not going to focus on the differences between mine and theirs, let’s just say my approximation recipe is insanely good and I can’t stop thinking about it. Let’s make them!

• Cooked chicken
• BBQ sauce
• Gold potatoes
• White or yellow onions
• Green onion
• Avocado
• Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• Vinegar
• Oil
• Salt, pepper and sugar
• Tortillas

You can either cook your own chicken, buy pre-cooked chicken or use a rotisserie chicken.

Salt the meat the night before you will be cooking it. This ensures tender meat and has been a total game changer for me. I never have dry chicken any more. Never.

Then I just seasoned mine simply with a little everyday seasoning, lemon juice, oil and baked it at 375F until my meat thermometer (affiliate link) read 165F. A meat thermometer is another great way to guard against dry chicken. You have the confidence of knowing that the chicken is done and can remove it right away to avoid overcooking.

Once the chicken was cooked, I sliced it up and slathered it with my favorite BBQ Sauce from Trader Joe’s.

I made my chicken ahead so I wrapped it in a little foil bundle and put it in the oven to reheat.

Roasted potatoes and onions

This is the second most hands-on part of this recipe. But still easy and also very easy to make ahead for super quick assembly on the spot. Just dice potatoes and onions, coat with olive or avocado oil, sprinkle with salt and bake at 400F for about 25 minutes, until golden brown and tender.

These marinated green onions are just the little pop of freshness that this burrito needs. Just slice the green onions and add vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and sugar and set aside.

To make folding and tucking the burritos easier, heat the tortilla for a few moments in a non-stick skillet to make it more pliable.

Then spread cheese on the tortilla, add potatoes, then chicken, avocado, marinated green onions, and I usually add a little more cheese and sauce at this point.

Tuck, fold and roll the burrito up as tightly as you can and place it back in that non-stick skillet to crisp up the outside and ensure melty cheese on the inside.

Enjoy with you favorite hot sauce. My favorite hot sauce on the planet is this stuff (affiliate link). It’s so good, with the perfect level of heat and amazing flavor too. It’s so flavorful I even used it as the sole seasoning in chili when we were camping because a bird flew off with my bag of spices I’d brought, LOL! True story.

ENJOY!!
