These burritos are something of a Tex-Mex wonder: tangy barbecue sauce, some roast chicken (or rotisserie chicken) and vegetables, all wrapped up in tortillas. For the best taste, look for a fiery barbecue sauce without added corn syrup.

  • 1 2-pound roasted chicken, skin discarded, meat removed from bones and shredded (4 cups)
