I followed the recipe exactly and the burritos turned out perfect. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rice was fluffy and tender. I added some shredded cheese and sour cream to the burritos and they were delicious.

I'm not a big fan of burritos, but these were really good! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I especially liked the creamy avocado sauce. I'll definitely be making these again.

These burritos were a little bland for me, but they were still good. I added some salsa and sour cream to them and they were much better. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll add more seasoning next time.

These burritos were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them! He said they were the best burritos he's ever had. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

These burritos were easy to make and very tasty! I used brown rice instead of white rice and they were still delicious. I also added some black beans and corn to the filling. The burritos were a hit with my family and I will definitely be making them
