    Crispy baked chicken burritos - fast, easy, tasty & healthy! The perfect quick weeknight Mexican meal that the whole family will love!

    Crispy chicken burritos - fast, easy, tasty & healthy! The perfect week night meal.

    I loooove me some burritos. They're such an easy throw together meal. They're also a favourite of Josh's which means they fall firmly into the "farmer friendly" food category and I love adding food to that list!

    I used to buy the seasoning packets for both mince & chicken burritos which we loved. Last year I discovered homemade burrito seasoning which I started using with mince and I've finally cracked the code for the crispy chicken coating! Not that there is anything wrong with using those, but I'm a total sucker for making stuff from scratch...tastes better, is cheaper and as long as you have a well stocked spice rack you can throw it together at a minutes notice. Perfect when the supermarket is an hour away!

    The best thing about this seasoning is that it's not limited to burritos. I cut the chicken into strips and they were the perfect chicken dippers. And the sweet chilli lime mayo that goes so well in the burritos also makes a great dipping sauce.

    Mix the coating together, cut the chicken into strips, dip in a bit of milk and cover in the coating and bake. While the chicken is baking prepare the salad fillings, throw together the yoghurt dressing and in under an hour you are eating delicious crispy chicken burritos. It also reheats really well for if someone is late home for dinner or cook extra chicken so that you can continue the party for lunch the next day.

      This looks very tasty. Do you make your own crumbs or use a commercial one?

      These look great! Make a similar dish but usually use taco seasoning with the crumbs - love how you have made your own spice mix here will definitely give that a go!

        Oooo yum! This one is pretty mild so if you have a favourite taco seasoning that would go perfectly in here!
