Sushi Burrito

Toss aside your classic burrito ingredients and wrap up teriyaki chicken, avocado and asparagus in nori for a tasty Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Burrito. If you need a fun and unique lunch to get you through the work week, this is just the recipe for you.

Just like all the other yummy recipes on The Leaf, this Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Burrito is super easy to whip up and will leave you feeling like a master chef. But if you only love sushi in its classic form, check out these insanely delicious (and healthy!) sushi recipes. On the other hand, if you love a classic burrito, our Cheesy Egg White Breakfast Burrito recipe is just what you need to start the day off right.

Kick off the recipe by stirring together quinoa and vinegar before setting them aside until they reach room temperature. Blanch your asparagus by microwaving them for one minute and then running cold water over them. Grab a bowl from the cabinet and mix together your chicken and teriyaki sauce.

Lay down a piece of the plastic wrap on the counter, better yet, use a plastic-wrapped bamboo mat if you have one on hand. And if you don’t, we can’t recommend bamboo mats for sushi making enough! Place a piece of nori on the plastic with its shiny side facing down. Now it’s time for a burrito bonanza!

Assemble your burrito by neatly placing them on the nori and then slowly roll it over the middle ingredients. Shape the roll into tight log shape and then cut the sushi roll in half. Repeat the process again if you plan on making more than one burrito, or if you’re making lunch for the week ahead.

Meal prep can make eating healthy throughout the week so much easier. There’s no rushing around trying to come up with a healthy option in the morning and with just a little practice, you can perfect your meal prep skills.
