Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
– 1 cup refried beans
– 1 cup salsa
– 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions

Making your own Seven Layer Chicken Burritos is easy with these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with taco seasoning, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
3. Warm the Tortillas: Lightly warm the flour tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
4. Spread Beans: On each tortilla, spread a layer (about ¼ cup) of refried beans in the center.
5. Layer Ingredients: On top of the beans, layer shredded chicken, salsa, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
6. Fold the Burritos: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
7. Place in a Baking Dish: Repeat the process for all the tortillas, placing them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top of the burritos for an extra melty finish.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and then garnish with shredded lettuce, black olives, and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with sour cream on the side.

These steps make it easy and fun to create a delicious dish that everyone will enjoy!
