  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 1/2 cup salsa
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Ultimate Chicken Burritos for Weeknight Dinners is straightforward with these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the shredded chicken over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and stir well to coat the chicken evenly.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the seasoned chicken, cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced bell peppers, and salsa. Mix until well combined.
3. Warm Tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the flour tortillas over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This makes them easier to roll.
4. Assemble Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
5. Roll the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely.
6. Heat Burritos: Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and heated through.
7. Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Serve with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

These steps will guide you in creating a delicious meal that is sure to please everyone.
