BURROS

Method

BURROS

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded chicken, salsa verde, black beans, spinach, corn, and cumin. Stir to combine and cook until everything is heated through and the spinach wilts, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the filling with salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  4. 4

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 20-30 seconds per tortilla.

  5. 5

    Assemble burritos

    Spoon filling onto each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese and cilantro, then roll up tightly. Fold in the sides as you roll.

  6. 6

    Optional: Toast the seam-side down burritos in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to melt cheese and tighten the burrito.

  7. 7

    Serve the burritos warm with additional salsa, sour cream, or lime wedges if desired.
