Ingredients

• 6 pieces Flour tortillas
• 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Chopped fresh spinach
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, the egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface. In the center of the tortilla, spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture, followed by a handful of shredded chicken, and a spoonful of marinara sauce. Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, filling, and chicken until all burritos are assembled and arranged snugly in the dish.

Step 6

Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top of the burritos. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella on top.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Allow the burritos to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan or chopped parsley if desired.
