Chef Tips

- Do not overload the center of the tortilla with filling to be able to fold the side flaps firmly. - Place the burrito in the skillet with the fold facing down to seal the seam with the melted cheese. - Chop fresh cilantro and add it to the chicken off the heat to preserve its green color and aroma.

Variations

- Burrito with scrambled eggs: add two scrambled eggs with butter along with the shredded chicken in the filling. - With black beans or cowpeas: add two tablespoons of cooked beans without broth for a Tex-Mex touch. - Spicy version: add slices of pickled jalapeño pepper or chipotle red pepper sauce.

Substitutions

- Chicken breast meat can be replaced with sautéed ground beef, shredded pork leg, or scrambled eggs. - Wheat tortillas can be replaced by soft corn tortillas or whole wheat Arabic flatbread. - The mozzarella cheese can be replaced by prato cheese, grated cheddar cheese, or minas padrão cheese.

How to Store

Store the burritos wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat while keeping the tortilla crunchy, place in a dry skillet over low heat, covered, for 5 minutes, turning the sides.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the assembled and cold burritos wrapped individually in parchment paper and aluminum foil for up to 2 months. To thaw, heat in a medium oven at 180°C for 20 minutes or directly in the airfryer at 160°C for 12 minutes.

What to Serve With

Serve accompanied by fresh guacamole, pico de gallo (tomato and lemon vinaigrette), and dollops of sour cream. To drink, natural orange juice with mint, black coffee with cinnamon or iced green tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to fold the burrito so the filling does not escape?

Fold the two sides inward over the ends of the filling and roll from bottom to top firmly until closed.

Why does the wheat tortilla break when trying to roll it?

Cold dough loses malleability; heat the tortillas for 10 to 15 seconds in the hot skillet to soften them before.

Can I prepare it with leftover Sunday roast chicken?

Yes, shred the leftover chicken and sauté briefly with garlic, onion, and olive oil to recover the moisture of the meat.

How to make the burrito shell golden and crispy?

Brush a drop of oil or butter on the hot skillet and press the burrito gently with a spatula until toasted.
