Make-Ahead Burritos

I needed to use up some leftover chicken, and I didn't want to feel like I was "eating chicken again". It was the fastest burrito I've ever made, and I'm going to freeze the leftovers individually. Who needs to purchase frozen burritos when you can make your own with ingredients you have on hand. The only thing I did differently is I used around 7 ounces of green chilies and instead of the burrito seasoning mix I added my own seasoning (fresh cilantro, garlic, cumin, and chili powder).
