Copycat Taco Bell's Grilled Chicken Burritos Recipe

ingredients

Marinade
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Burritos
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup enchilada sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 (12 inch size) flour tortillas
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
green onion, sliced

directions

In a small bowl combine marinade ingredients. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and marinate overnight.

Cook the chicken on your barbecue or indoor grill over med-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until done. Slice the chicken into bite-size chunks. Add the enchilada sauce to the rice. Put on the rice over low heat, uncovered, and cook until hot.

Heat the tortillas in a steamer, or wrap them in moist towels and heat on high for 25-30 seconds in the microwave. Build the burrito by spreading 1/4 of the chicken down the middle of one of the tortillas. Leave room at the end for folding. Spread 1/4 of the rice over the chicken. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of each of the cheeses over the rice. Sprinkle sliced green onions to taste. Fold up. You may want to heat up each burrito in the microwave for 20-30 sec. to help the cheese melt.

cook's notes

I also spoon a little more enchilada sauce over chicken mixture. This is soooo good. Tastes like the real Taco Bell ones :-)))

These were great! I didn't have any liquid smoke on hand, but it didn't seem to make any difference. You'll need to get GIANT burrito shells to roll these up in, our 11" shells couldn't handle it all, we made a lot more than the recipe called for.
