Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Cooked black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 8 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Shred the cooked chicken breasts and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked white rice, black beans, salsa, sour cream, chopped cilantro (if using), and taco seasoning to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well-combined.
Step 3
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla, spreading it slightly into a horizontal line.
Step 4
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Swirl the oil to coat the skillet evenly.
Step 6
Place 2 to 3 burritos seam-side down in the skillet (depending on skillet size) without overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining burritos, adding more oil as needed between batches.
Step 7
Once crispy, transfer the burritos to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy chicken burritos hot with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side.
