Clean Eating BBQ Burritos

Tried this, two nights ago and the very picky husband LOVED it!

Clean Eating BBQ 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 (I get the fat-free ones at Trader Joe’s)
BBQ red bell pepper (or any veggies you want)
Tomatoes, chopped
Low fat cheese (optional)
Fresh cilantro
Whole grain tortillas
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.
Step 5 – If you are BBQing any veggies, put those on the grill as well.
Step 6 – You can warm your tortillas on the BBQ if you like, but I find they get too hard to wrap as a burrito. So I wrap mine in some damp paper towels and microwave for 1-2 minutes. This gets them warm and pliable.
Step 7 – Assemble your burritos and serve.
