MILD CHICKEN BURRITOS
This is a comforting and mild burrito recipe. My husband and kids love it. I like it because it's easy and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. A great way to use leftover rice and chicken! It can be made healthier by using brown rice and whole wheat tortillas. You can also add onions and garlic to the recipe for added flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 13x9 baking dish with baking spray - or just use extra green chili sauce on the bottom of the dish to keep the burritos from sticking.
- Combine chicken, rice, cream of chicken soup, green chilis and pepper in a bowl. Take a tortilla and place a slice of swiss cheese in the middle. Spoon 1/5 of the chicken mixture on the tortilla and roll up. Place in a glass baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Pour the green chili sauce over the top of the burritos. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes. If you are a cheese lover - feel free to top the burrito with cheddar or monterey jack cheese for the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve with mexican corn. Enjoy!
RESTAURANT-STYLE LIGHT AND HEALTHY CHICKEN BURRITO
I love the way mexican restaurants make a chicken burrito, with mexican rice and shredded, juicy chicken, After some experiments I came quite close, however, I omit the refried beans, cheese and cream. This makes it a perfect pre-work-out food: I eat one every now and then before going for a 10 mile run! Works perfectly and doesn't give you that overstuffed feeling in the stomach. I usually do add some guacamole (see my guacemole recipe if you want to make it yourself). This way it is lighter and healthier, but no less tasty! Ofcourse you can always choose to add the refried beans, cheese and cream if you got your heart set on it!

LIME CHICKEN BURRITOS
Burritos have a lot in common with enchiladas, both consisting of rolled-up tortillas filled with a variety of tempting ingredients. Burritos, however, are eaten out of hand, while enchiladas are prepared en casserole. By the way, the Pico de Gallo link listed as a garnish is more than just a suggestion. It is the perfect complement to these outstanding burritos. Recipe Source: texascooking.com

Steps:
- Place the chicken pieces in a glass or plastic container. Combine the vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano and onion and pour mixture over the chicken pieces. Allow chicken to marinate, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in a 400°F oven while you assemble the garnishes. When ready to serve, transfer to a hot plate or tortilla warmer.
- Drain the marinade from the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. In a large skillet, brown the chicken pieces in the olive oil over medium-high heat. When pieces are browned, turn heat to low and stir in the reserved marinade and chicken broth. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes until liquid has almost cooked away. Do not allow mixture to dry out. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Put chicken, tortillas and garnishes in individual serving dishes on the table, and let guests assemble their own burritos.
