Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the burritos.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, shredded cheese, and salsa until evenly mixed.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a layer of sour cream over each tortilla evenly.
- Add Filling: Distribute the chicken, cheese, and salsa mixture evenly onto the sour cream-spread tortillas.
- Add Toppings: Place sliced avocado and chopped cilantro on top of the chicken mixture for added freshness and flavor.
- Wrap Burritos: Fold and roll the tortillas tightly into burrito shapes, ensuring the fillings are secured inside.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in a baking dish and cover the dish with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
- Bake Burritos: Bake covered for 20 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese, then remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes to slightly crisp the tortillas on top.
Notes
- You can use any type of shredded cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
- For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Leftover burritos can be wrapped individually and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, then reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- To make the burritos vegetarian, replace chicken with cooked beans or sautéed vegetables.
