RECIPE: Make The Tasty Chicken Poblano Burrito From 'Flip My Food'

If you're a fan of Mexican food and Tex-Mex flavors, you'll love chef Jeff Henderson of Z Living's popular show Flip My Food's recipe for a tasty chicken poblano burrito. The dish is inspired by Tumbleweed Tex Mex Grill & Margarita Bar's similar popular recipe, and even plated to match, all from a visit that took place during an episode of the show. Think peppery chicken and jack cheese topped by sour cream, and served with seasoned corn rounds (mmm). Try it yourself today!
