Barbecued Chicken Burritos

These burritos are something of a Tex-Mex wonder: tangy barbecue sauce, some roast chicken (or rotisserie chicken) and vegetables, all wrapped up in tortillas. For the best taste, look for a fiery barbecue sauce without added corn syrup.

READER'S COMMENT:

"My girlfriend and I just whipped up a few of these. They were fun and easy to make together. It makes a lot of food for two, we've got some leftovers. May try the taquito idea posted above. Thanks for sharing the recipe. "
