BBQ CHICKEN & RICE BURRITO (COWBOY CRUNCH BURRITO)



BBQ Chicken & Rice Burrito (Cowboy Crunch Burrito) image

This is a copycat of a burrito I ate while visiting a small chain in Harrisburg, PA. It was excellent and so easy to recreate a similar taste at home -- and still be healthy! You can use any rice you like, and of course, you don't have to use the low-fat or wheat options if you don't want to. It should turn out great any way you do it!
