Tips:

If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.
To make the chicken even more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not dry.
If you like your burritos spicy, add some diced jalapeños or a dollop of hot sauce.
To make the burritos easier to roll, warm the tortillas in a skillet or in the microwave before filling them.
If you are making the burritos ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
