Tex-Mex Grilled Chicken Burrito Recipe: Flavorful Weeknight Meal

Tex-Mex Grilled Chicken Wrap | Cooked by Julie

 

This wrap is my favorite chicken burrito. I didn’t make guacamole this time, but fresh sliced avocado added a bright, creamy finish that made the flavors pop. The chicken was seasoned just right, and every ingredient I used is one I love — so it’s no surprise this turned out incredible.

If you enjoy bold Tex‑Mex flavors and a satisfying burrito, this recipe is for you.

I served mine with sour cream and hot sauce — a perfect companion for lunch or a quick dinner.

Served with sour cream and hot sauce, this Tex-Mex burrito is the perfect lunch.

Saute chopped red bell peppers and green onions in a pan.

I began by sautéing chopped red bell pepper and green onion until tender and slightly caramelized.

The grilled chicken is seasoned with some tex-mex spices and a squirt of lime juice.

The chicken is tossed with a simple Tex‑Mex spice mix and a squeeze of lime, then grilled to juicy perfection.

Add the chicken to a tortilla with refried beans, avocado chunks and some tomatoes.

Layer warmed refried beans, sautéed veggies, grilled chicken, avocado, and tomatoes on a soft flour tortilla.

Top this tex-mex burrito with cheese and sour cream.

I finished mine with shredded Colby Jack cheese and a dollop of sour cream — because cheese and sour cream make everything better.

Wrap in foil and pack for a delicious homemade lunch.
