Tailgating – BBQ Burritos

Tailgating - BBQ Burritos

Are you ready for some football?!?! This Saturday begins the college season for us and while we are still frantically moving the kids in with us and rearranging the entire house, all will stop for a few hours on Saturday to watch the University of Oklahoma play a game of football. Half the kids are already here so we hope the others will come – and I will be in charge of food. I make spicy for several but there are those who really do not care for hot food so I came up with something different. I wanted to try it several different ways before I posted it and you are going to be surprised at how versatile this dish is!

First, I hope you will go read (and please comment!) on my very last post as the Oklahoma Woman Blogger of the month for August. It’s important to me that I go out with a bang so please take a moment to go here and read about why I became a blogger – and a lot about my beloved Nana of course! 🙂

Back to the recipe. Here’s what you are going to need:

Tailgating – BBQ Burritos

BBQ chicken – homemade, frozen chicken wings, or grocery-store bought. I used homemade this time but any will work.

2 Cups shredded cheese – your favorite kind. I would love Mozzarella, but I had Mexican Blend so I used that.

10 flour tortillas.

That’s it.

Directions:

Set up your steamer because they are ALWAYS better steamed!

Shred up your chicken or pull it off the bone.

Put a little on the tortilla followed by some shredded cheese like this:

Tailgating - BBQ Burritos

Roll it up like this:

Tailgating - BBQ Burritos

Wrap foil around and steam in a steamer like this for 30 minutes.

Tailgating - BBQ Burritos

YUM!!

Tailgating - BBQ Burritos

The greatest thing about these? You can do everything and store in the fridge the day before and then steam the day of the event.

Or, you can go all the way to the wrap in foil step and then throw them in a Ziploc bag and place in the freezer until the day of event. That morning take them out of freezer and let them thaw and then steam for 30 minutes. Perfect! I know because I did it just to make sure. How easy is that? You can make these on Sunday evening for a Thursday night varsity game, Friday night High School game, Saturday college or Sunday Pro game. Seriously – you gotta’ try it!

I’m headed to a town nearly 3 hours away to speak to come caregivers. Luckily, Mr. Picky Eater is taking a break from moving the kids today and is driving me…..he worries and I smile. 🙂

    I have to admit that I’m not much of a football fan…or any sport, for that matter. But I’ll come and eat these while you all watch the game. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thanks Anita! Wow – something is so wrong with my computer or my website because I didn’t have any of these comments on my dashboard. Makes me look rude! You could make us a bunch of martinis and eventually we wouldn’t care about the game!

    Oh my- I love when I learn something new and fantastic! I never knew your could steam them- duh! This is such a great idea. And I LOVE football, but I’m a weirdo ’cause I root for the underdog (Seahawks). I’ll be making these for my next game ๐Ÿ™‚

    My family is a massive sports fan, albeit, not football but in general, so I’m sure if I made this delish recipe, they would be thrilled ๐Ÿ™‚

      They are so good steamed! I asked this Mexican lady why her burritos were always so tender and tasty – she said she steamed them just like her tamales. I started doing it too. I made breakfast burritos one morning when Wonder Boy was here and he told me they were the best thing he ever ate! haha!

    I’m excited for football to start… and to eat these burritos! They look delicious, and I believe anything is better wrapped in a tortilla ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Good luck with the moving. Hopefully they can get settled soon.

      Thanks Pam – they are all moved in it’s just everywhere all over the house! Football starts for us in about 4 hours and traffic is the worst I’ve ever seen it! Glad we are at home in the air conditioning.

    Those look delicious, Kelli, and I love the make ahead aspect. That would be all kinds of handy if you have a bunch of folks to feed.

    Those look so, so good – but I’m a vegetarian. I suppose there’s no reason why I couldn’t make them with veggie “chicken”, right?

      Right! My in-laws are vegetarian and she uses something called Fri-Chick and then covers and bakes with BBQ sauce!

    I think ALL our football teams lost this weekend…but I’m still looking forward to our first tailgate! I think it may be in November, though, with our crazy schedules. I’ll definitely need to bring some hot food…and your BBQ burritos would be perfect!!!
