Instructions

Notes
- Customization Tip: You can easily adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder or using a milder seasoning like paprika. For extra heat, add some jalapeño slices to the burrito.
- Tortilla Variations: Feel free to swap flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe more suited to your dietary preferences.
- Chicken Alternative: If you’re looking to make this dish vegetarian, consider using grilled vegetables, tofu, or a plant-based chicken alternative for a meatless version.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the chicken and toppings in advance and store them separately. When ready to eat, simply assemble the burritos for a quick meal.
- Serving Suggestions: These burritos pair wonderfully with a side of chips, salsa, or a refreshing cucumber salad for a complete meal.
