Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Fiesta Chicken Burritos.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (180°C).
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, melt a generous pat of butter over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Toss in the cubed chicken and sauté until it turns golden and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 8 minutes.
Step 4
Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then transfer the succulent chicken to a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
In this bowl, combine the chicken with 1 cup of shredded cheese, diced green pepper, a dollop of sour cream, black olives if you desire, zesty salsa, minced jalapeño for a kick, and a handful of chopped cilantro.
Step 6
Mix everything together until it’s a harmonious blend of flavors.
Step 7
Grab a tortilla and place a quarter of the chicken mixture right in the center.
Step 8
Fold the sides over the filling, then roll it up tightly, ensuring the delicious contents are fully enclosed.
Step 9
Position the burrito seam-side down in a small baking dish and repeat this delightful process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 10
Once all the burritos are nestled in the dish, shower them with the remaining shredded cheese, creating a cheesy crown.
Step 11
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and the tortillas have a satisfying crisp.
Step 12
Serve these warm, and savor every bite of your homemade burrito masterpiece!.
