Eat Clean Barbeque Burritos


Chicken Ingredients:
4 large chicken breasts
1/2 of the seasoning recipe below
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 2 limes

Seasoning Mix:
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. chili powder

Burrito Fixings:
Refried beans (can find fat-free ones at Trader Joe’s)
Red bell pepper (or any veggies you want)
Tomatoes, chopped
Low fat cheese (optional)
Fresh cilantro
Whole grain tortillas (Food for Life "Ezekial 4:9" makes a whole grain flourless tortilla)

Directions:
Step 1 – Combine all the Seasoning Mix in a small bowl. Mix well.
Step 2 – Zest and juice the limes.
Step 3 – Cover the chicken, first in lime juice and zest, and then with the spices. Be sure to turn them and cover both sides. You can marinate them for about 20 minutes if you like, but it’s not necessary.
Step 4 – Place the chicken on the BBQ and grill until the internal temperature reaches 165-170 degrees F (or you can cook on the stove/in the oven)
Step 5 – If you are BBQing any veggies, put those on the grill as well.
Step 6 – Wrap your tortilla between damp paper towels and microwave for 1-2 minutes. This gets them warm and pliable.
Step 7 – Assemble your burritos and serve.
