Chicken Filling

Vegetable Filling

Wrap and Toppings

Method

Prepare Chicken Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

  3. 3

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Prepare Vegetable Filling

  1. 4

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the bell pepper and onion into small pieces.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for chicken, add a bit more olive oil if needed, and sauté the bell pepper and onion for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add corn and black beans, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Assemble Burritos

  1. 6

    Warm Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

  2. 7

    Fill Tortillas

    On each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chicken filling and vegetable filling. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro.

  3. 8

    Roll Burritos

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up tightly to enclose the fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serve

  1. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Cut the burritos in half and serve with additional salsa and sour cream on the side. Enjoy your homemade chicken burritos!
