Chicken burritos can be lighter in taste, compared to a beef burrito. Grilling and roasting can add plenty of flavor.

Chicken breast (white meat) can easily overcook, resulting in dry meat. Cooking the breast with the skin on can help with moisture. There is a lower amount of fat in chicken breast, making it a healthier alternative. Thigh meat (dark meat) is more moist than breast meat. There is a higher fat content in thighs and also more flavor. Thighs are easier to cook, they will not dry out a fast as breast meat and can take more of the heat.

One of the main toppings used in burritos are tomatoes. Some of the more common tomatoes used are the beefsteak and roma tomatoes. Beefsteak tomatoes are the largest of the species. They come in a variety of colors, are full of flavor, and contain less seeds than other tomatoes.http://www.pure-flavor.com/CATALOG/?page_id=4 Roma tomatoes, also known as Italian or plum tomatoes, are an oblong shape and smaller in size. These tomatoes also have less seeds and have a meaty texture, similar to the beefsteak.http://www.all-creatures.org/recipes/i-tomatoes-roma.html Roma and beefsteak tomatoes are commonly used to make condiments like salsa.http://www.produceoasis.com/Items_folder/Vegetables/SlicingTom.html
