Notes

  • Time-Saver Tip: Use rotisserie chicken or meal-prepped shredded chicken to cut down on cooking time.

  • Make It Crispy: Toast the wrapped burritos in a skillet or panini press for a golden, crunchy finish.

  • Add-Ins & Swaps: Add black beans, corn, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture. Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a twist!

  • Meal Prep Friendly: Wrap in foil and refrigerate for grab-and-go lunches. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

  • Low-Carb Option: Use low-carb tortillas or serve the filling as a burrito bowl over greens or cauliflower rice.
