Chicken Burritos

Belizean chicken burritos can be found at any fast-food shop at home. Burritos are nothing short of being inexpensive, filling and delicious. Making chicken burritos every so often has brought me great comfort while being away from home at university. An authentic Belizean burrito uses Dutch cheese, so of course, I had to bring all the way from Belize. And I certainly did not forget my Marie Sharp pepper for that extra kick!
