Chicken Filling

Method

Chicken Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    In the same skillet, add garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet along with lime juice. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan or microwave, warm the flour tortillas for a few seconds until soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Burritos

    On each tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by a generous portion of the seasoned chicken, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 6

    Wrap the Burritos

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Make sure to wrap tightly to prevent spillage.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half and serve immediately with extra salsa and sour cream on the side.
