Absolutely delicious freezer-friendly green chile chicken burritos loaded with veggies, protein, perfectly spiced potatoes, and a dash of salsa and cheese. Make the filling for these easy, healthy chicken burritos in just one skillet and freeze the extra burritos to enjoy quick, filling dinners for weeks to come!
As I’ve mentioned a few times before, my mom is an excellent cook. Even since she moved to Chicago, she’s always texting me videos of what she’s creating and crafting in the kitchen. I remember a few years ago she sent me a video of her homemade healthy chicken burritos. They were filled with green chile, bell peppers, potatoes, recaito, salsa and cheese; as soon as I took one look I knew I was going to have to recreate them for both myself and the blog.
My husband and I made a big batch one afternoon and couldn’t stop devouring them the rest of the week because they were FABULOUS. They keep perfectly in the fridge, and we even froze a few so that we could pull them out for an easy lunch or dinner. Guaranteed family favorite weeknight dinner.
