Salsa chicken burritos. Today I wanted to share a meal that’s fast and easy to make. I like to make dishes with only a few ingredients. I also try to make them healthier if I can.

You can make these delicious Creamy Salsa Chicken Burritos in just 10-15 minutes! I think they are amazing! They are so versatile. The filling inside them is so yummy. There’s juicy chicken, vegetables, beans, rice, and lots of cheese.

Greek yogurt is the secret to making the filling so creamy, and no one needs to know! Make it as mild or as spicy as you like by choosing the type of salsa you use.

How to Make Filling for Salsa Chicken Burritos

Cook Chicken: Get a big skillet. Pour some olive oil into it. Sprinkle salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano on the chicken pieces. Put them in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until they are cooked.

Assemble Burritos

Warm up your tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. This will make them easier to fold and shape.

To make 8 burritos, lay out 8 tortillas. Place some rice, chicken, beans, rice, lettuce, and cheese on each one. Then, fold the tortilla in half, like a pocket. Finally, roll it up like a burrito.

Bake the burritos in the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F, wrapped in foil. You can also fry them in a pan over medium-high heat for two minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese melts.

Or, heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then put the burritos in the skillet with the seam side down. Cook each side for three minutes until the burrito is golden brown.

Serve this dish with salsa and Greek yogurt.
