If you love Chipotle burritos, then you’re really going to love these grilled burritos, filled with fajita grilled chicken, veggies & cilantro lime rice!
I have a confession to make, I’m a bit obsessed with grilled burritos!
It’s a burrito, so that already has my attention, then you toss it on the grill to create a deliciously crispy tortilla wrapped around all of the burrito goodness, and bam, you’ve got an awesome grilled burrito!
To keep with the theme of grilling, I filled the burritos with grilled fajita seasoned chicken and grilled peppers and onions. I also added white rice, seasoned with cilantro and lime juice and black beans.
Needless to say, these burritos were filled to the brim with delicious, flavorful ingredients!
Grilled chicken is the star in these burritos and in several other popular recipes on the blog. Bruschetta Grilled Chicken Zoodle Bowls, Grilled Chipotle Lime Chicken Fajita Skewers, and of course, the soon-to-be-very-popular Grilled Chicken Fajita Burritos!

While everything is grilling, heat the white rice in the microwave for 90 seconds, then mix in the remaining 2 tbsp lime juice and 1 tbsp cilantro. Set aside.
Remove everything from the grill and place on a cutting board. Remember to leave the grill turned on to medium heat.
Dice the chicken, bell peppers and onions.
