Quick and Easy Protein Meal or Snack: Chili Burrito

Want a quick high protein high energy snack?  Try a chili burrito.  I always keep some whole wheat tortilla shells on hand for lunch or snack items.  I also always keep cans of pre-made chili for high protein snacks.

All you have to do is throw about a 1/4 cup of chili on a small whole wheat tortilla shell and heat it up in the microwave or oven.  The chili can be store bought canned chili or homemade.  If you don't mind a pinch of extra fat, throw on a mix of taco cheese to give it a little extra flavor.
