Chicken Burritos Recipe
Take a look at these chicken burritos! Do they look good or what? They are absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I just think burritos are the the greatest thing ever invented because they’re so versatile. The filling in these burritos is incredible. Perfectly seasoned chicken pieces, veggies, refried beans, corn, Mexican rice and lots and lots of cheese.
Easy To Make – 30 Minutes Simple Ingredients Versatile & Customizable Delicious & Perfect For Picky Eaters!
When I make these, I go all out and make everything from scratch. I make my own refried beans, my own Mexican rice, my own Enchilada Sauce for the rice, and I also love to make some nacho cheese sauce from scratch. Sometimes, I even go ahead and make some homemade salsa. Of course, you don’t have to, but if I do this, I have lots of food for the week and we sure love our Mexican, so nobody ever complains. This is a recipe that I’ve had on the blog for almost a decade now so I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Ingredient Notes
Chicken Filling
Chicken Breasts -Skinless and boneless, cut into small pieces. You can also use chicken thighs. Seasoning – I used chili powder, dried oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Olive Oil – Substitute sunflower, safflower or avocado oil. Onion – A small white or yellow onion, chopped. Garlic – Fresh is best! Minced. Bell Pepper – Medium red bell pepper, chopped. Refried Beans – Canned, or you can use my homemade refried beans recipe!
Burritos
Tortillas – I used large flour tortillas. Rice – You’ll want some nice Mexican rice for these burritos. Here’s my recipe for 3 ingredients only Mexican rice. Corn – I used canned corn to make it easier, but fresh or frozen will work as well! Cheese – Cheddar cheese, shredded. You can use any type of cheese you prefer. Mexican blends are great in these burritos.
Serve With
Salsa – Try my homemade salsa! Sour Cream – Use your favorite. Nacho Cheese Sauce – Use your favorite, or make your own with my nacho cheese sauce recipe!

Tips
Storing Leftovers
Refrigerate leftover chicken burritos wrapped in foil or stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.
Freezing
You can even freeze these burritos for up to 3 months as long they’re stored in an airtight container or wrapped securely. I would recommend wrapping the burritos individually in foil so you can defrost them as you wish.
