Taste the salsa verde and adjust salt or lime as needed. Set aside to cool slightly while you prep the rest.
Roasted Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
- 5
Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- 6
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once, until potatoes are golden and tender.
Chicken Filling

In a small bowl, mix cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the spice blend to coat evenly.
- 8
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.

If desired, stir in 2–4 tablespoons of salsa verde to coat the chicken for extra verde flavor.
Assembly & Serving

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or briefly wrap in a damp towel and microwave until pliable.

To each tortilla, add a portion of the chicken filling and a handful of roasted potatoes. Spoon on a generous amount of salsa verde.

Top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream (if using), and chopped cilantro. Fold the sides in and roll into a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serve immediately with extra salsa verde and lime wedges on the side.
