Title: Gooey Chicken Burritos
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1 cup salsa
– 1 tsp ground cumin
– 1 tsp paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
– Optional toppings: diced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Place a flour tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, then top it with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
4. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly to form a burrito. Place the burrito seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Once all the burritos are assembled in the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the burritos.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burritos are heated through.
7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden brown.
8. Serve the Gooey Chicken Burritos hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as diced avocado, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
