BURROS
Method
BURROS
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- 2
- 3
Stir in the shredded chicken, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes to bloom the spices and coat the chicken evenly.
- 4
Pour in the red enchilada sauce and add the drained beans. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Remove from heat and fold in half of the shredded cheese into the filling, reserving the rest for topping.
- 6
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until flexible, about 20-30 seconds each.
- 7
Spoon filling onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Roll up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to form a burrito.
- 8
Optional: Place burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-8 minutes to melt cheese, or place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes.
- 9
Serve the burritos with cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
