Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Spread the filling slightly, being careful not to overfill.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the rolled burritos seam side down in the skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently flip the burritos as needed.
Once all the burritos are crispy and golden, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the burritos warm with your favorite sides, such as guacamole, pico de gallo, or additional salsa.
