Heart Healthy Burrito Food
HEALTHY BREAKFAST BURRITOS
As a high schooler, I' always late in the morning, and often I'm not really hungry after waking up until I get to school. These work great for this; I heat a frozen burrito in the microwave, drive to school, and then chow down during first period (with my teacher none the wiser). However, I've never been able to handle very fatty foods--they just make me sick. So I came up with these little babies, and they've never let me down!

RESTAURANT-STYLE LIGHT AND HEALTHY CHICKEN BURRITO
I love the way mexican restaurants make a chicken burrito, with mexican rice and shredded, juicy chicken, After some experiments I came quite close, however, I omit the refried beans, cheese and cream. This makes it a perfect pre-work-out food: I eat one every now and then before going for a 10 mile run! Works perfectly and doesn't give you that overstuffed feeling in the stomach. I usually do add some guacamole (see my guacemole recipe if you want to make it yourself). This way it is lighter and healthier, but no less tasty! Ofcourse you can always choose to add the refried beans, cheese and cream if you got your heart set on it!
