Ingredients

Burritos:
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (thin cut, see note)
  • 8 to 10 to 10 slices bacon cooked until crisp (see note)
  • 1 to 2 to 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped cucumbers
  • 1 to 2 to 2 avocados sliced into thin strips
  • 4 to 6 to 6 tortillas (see note)
Creamy Southwest Dipping Sauce:
  • ⅔ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (can also cook the chicken in an oven using the broiler or in a skillet) and season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill/cook the chicken until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F at the thickest part. Let the chicken rest 5 or so minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. For the sauce, whisk together all the ingredients until well-combined.
  4. To assemble, spread a couple tablespoons (or more!) of the sauce mixture down the middle of each tortilla. Top with chicken slices, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado. Roll up tightly (leaving the ends open or tucking them in burrito-style).
  5. Serve with extra dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Chicken: I like to use thin cut chicken breasts for this recipe (and most others). If you don't buy thin cut chicken breasts, you can easily cut thicker chicken breasts in half to form two thinner cutlets. They cook faster like this (and are usually more flavorful, in my opinion). Having said that, this recipe is really adaptable to most any kind of cooked chicken you have on hand. Even a rotisserie chicken would be delicious here and would make the recipe even easier!
  • Precooked Bacon: another tip for making this recipe super fast and easy: I like to use the precooked bacon that comes in a large bag at Costco (but you can find it at most any grocery store). I microwave the slices for 1-2 minutes and they are crisp and perfect for recipes like this. 
  • Tortillas: use whatever tortilla you like the taste of! Particularly yummy are the tortillas you throw on a griddle or skillet and cook yourself. This chicken BLT burrito idea would also be pretty tasty wrapped up in pita or naan bread or as a salad.
