Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Cooked black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 8 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Shred the cooked chicken breasts and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked white rice, black beans, salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro (if using), and taco seasoning to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well-combined.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla, spreading it slightly into a horizontal line.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Swirl the oil to coat the skillet evenly.
Place 2 to 3 burritos seam-side down in the skillet (depending on skillet size) without overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining burritos, adding more oil as needed between batches.
Once crispy, transfer the burritos to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken burritos hot with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
