Chicken Burritos
Let me just preface this by saying that we’re not talking fancy, gourmet food today. (Not that I ever would call my food that.) But today is more about a quick, super easy lunch that The Phoenix and I have become quite fond of lately. With a new baby, I wanted to stock up our freezer, and while searching for recipes, stumbled upon this. It’s become one of our go-to lunches and I love that I can prepare these one day, stick them in the freezer, and have a good lunch for both of us in no time many days over.
We like them heated in the oven because then you get a good crispness to the tortilla, but you can also microwave them for a minute or two as well if you’re in a time pinch. And they are best generously topped with this restaurant-style salsa. Trust us. Yum. No need to thaw, these can go straight from freezer to oven. (Just don’t forget to take the plastic wrap off.)
