Chicken Fajita Burritos

Fajitas are one of my favorites – but they can be a bit difficult to make for the whole family at once. There is of course the sheet pan version of fajitas that always works. But I wanted to try something a little different and went with a burrito version, which I named a Chicken Fajita Burrito. I decided to roll the whole fajita plate into the tortilla by including the beans and rice!

In a bowl combine chicken ingredients. Once griddle or grill pan is hot, add chicken and cook for 7 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.

In another bowl combine veggie ingredients. Once chicken is cooked, add veggies to grill or grill pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, moving around occasionally.
