Ingredients
For the burritos:
- 3 cups chicken diced
- 1 teaspoon Tajín® seasoning
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 cups pepper jack cheese shredded, divided
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Toppings:
- 2 cups salsa verde
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 limes cut in wedges
- sour cream optional, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a skillet, add the chicken and the Tajín seasoning and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and the sour cream with an electric mixer until it is creamy.
- Add 2 cups of the pepper jack cheese, the cooked chicken, and 1/4 cup of the cilantro to the cream cheese mixture and mix to combine.
- Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the middle of each of the tortillas, evenly spreading the filling with a knife, folding the tortillas over, and placing them in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the burritos with the remaining pepper jack cheese and bake until they are bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the salsa verde and the remaining cilantro together.
- Spread the salsa mixture down the middle of the burritos while they're still in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the avocado down the middle of the burritos and garnish with the lime wedges.
