I’m a huge fan of the Jenny Craig Chicken Burrito. Have you guys tried it? It’s filling and cooks up in less than two minutes when you’re hungry at lunch time. I prefer a beanless burrito, and this lunch entree is beans-free, which also makes me happy.
What makes me even happier is the ability to bulk up this burrito in a very big way.
The burrito itself is sort of small, but the filling is wrapped in an ENORMOUS tortilla… just waiting to be stuffed with veggies, which is exactly what I did! Note: You might see a peek at a Mexican cauliflower rice in the pictures… but it didn’t come out as good as I’d like. So, it remains a work in progress, and I’ll share that when it’s a recommended recipe.
In the meantime, make this burrito… you’re going to be floored!
