BBQ Chicken Burritos

Get as creative as you want with this recipe. I have listed the quick and easy version that can be made in 15 minutes. However, if you would like to add spinach, peppers, onions, or any other vegetables, I would recommend sautéing them and then adding them to part 4 on top of the cheese. This recipe would also work really well with beans and/or meat, such as skirt steak.

Ingredients:
1 package thinly sliced chicken breasts (almost 1 lb)
1 tablespoon William Sonoma BBQ rub (or any other type of bbq rub you prefer)
1/2 cup Jack Daniels BBQ sauce
4 Whole Wheat Tortillas
4 slices of cheese (white american or chedder works well)
1 package microwavable brown rice

Preparation:
1. Place the chicken breast in a large zip lock bag. Top with the BBQ rub and Jack Daniels sauce. Shake the bag to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings. Marinate for at least an hour before cooking.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat; coat with nonstick spray. Take the chicken out of the plastic bag and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until done. Remove the chicken from the pan and slice into strips. Wipe the pan clean. Reduce the heat to a medium-low temperature.
3. Cook the rice in the microwave (it should only take 90 seconds). Place the rice into a bowl and add a tablespoon of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and mix.
4. To assemble the burritos: take 1 whole wheat wrap, place a dab of BBQ sauce in the middle, top with a slice of cheese, a spoonful of rice and a couple of chicken strips. Place the wrap onto the pan and let heat. Once it has heated enough to melt the cheese, remove from the pan and fold into a burrito
