Ingredients
  

Burritos
  • - 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • - 4 large flour tortillas
  • - 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • - 1 cup cooked white rice
  • - ½ cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • - ½ tsp cumin
  • - ½ tsp garlic powder
  • - 2 tbsp unsalted butter
To Serve
  • - Extra salsa
  • - Sour cream
  • - Guacamole optional

Method
 

  1. Toss shredded chicken with cumin and garlic powder.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat. Layer rice, seasoned chicken, cheese, and salsa down the center, leaving 2 inches at each edge.
  3. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom.
  4. Melt ½ tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place burrito seam-side down; press gently with a spatula. Cook 2–3 minutes until golden.
  5. Flip and cook the other side 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining burritos.
  6. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a dry skillet or microwave.
  • Swap: Make quesadillas instead — layer chicken and cheese between two tortillas and cook in a dry skillet.
