Chicken Rice Burritos image

For a nice alternative to beef and bean burritos, I use this recipe, which I discovered several years back. If I fix the chicken mixture the night before, the next day's dinner is a snap. My 14-year-old gives these yummy burritos an enthusiastic "thumbs up"! -Suzanne Adams, Laguna Niguel, California

I'm a vegetarian and I love these burritos. I just substitute the chicken for black beans and they're just as delicious.

These burritos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over from dinner and I love to use them to make these burritos.
