Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken Burritos

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 4–6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for pan-frying)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling:
    • In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, cream cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Assemble Burritos:
    • Lay out a tortilla, spoon the chicken mixture onto the center, and roll tightly into a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  3. Crisp the Burritos:
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down and cook until golden and crispy on all sides.
  4. Garlic Butter Topping:
    • Mix melted butter with a little extra minced garlic and brush over the crispy burritos. Sprinkle with more Parmesan.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with parsley and serve hot with ranch, marinara, or garlic dipping sauce.

Would you like me to also make a baked version (healthier & less oily) of these burritos for you?
