Baked Chicken Burritos

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.


2. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  2. Add shredded chicken, black beans, corn, rice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in salsa and 1 cup of cheese, mixing until well combined. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble Burritos

  1. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about ½–¾ cup of the filling in the center.
  2. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
  3. Place seam side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

4. Top & Bake

  1. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese evenly over the burritos.
  2. Lightly spray or brush with oil for a golden finish.
  3. Bake 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are slightly crisp.

🥄 To Serve

Serve hot with:

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Guacamole
  • Shredded lettuce or chopped cilantro

💡 Tips

  • For extra flavor, mix in chopped green chilies or jalapeños.
  • You can make ahead and freeze before baking — just thaw and bake when ready.
  • Add Mexican rice or quinoa to make it more filling.

I can also give you a creamy, cheesy baked chicken burrito version with a sour cream sauce that keeps them extra moist and flavorful if you want. Do you want me to do that?
