🧄 Crispy Parmesan Garlic Chicken Burritos

🍗 Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:

• 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (or use rotisserie chicken)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese (for creaminess)

For Assembly:

• 4–6 large flour tortillas

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (for the outside)

• 2 tbsp butter (for pan crisping)

• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

🔪 Instructions

1. Make the Parmesan Garlic Chicken:

   • In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.

   • Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).

   • Add shredded chicken, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat.

   • Mix in sour cream (or cream cheese) and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is creamy and well combined. Remove from heat.

2. Assemble the Burritos:

   • Lay out tortillas. In each one, add a portion of the chicken filling.

   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.

   • Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.

3. Crisp the Burritos:

   • In a clean skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat.

   • Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan onto the skillet where you’ll place the burrito seam-side down (creates a cheesy crust).

   • Place burritos in the pan, seam-side down. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.

   • Optional: repeat with more butter and Parmesan for the second batch.

4. Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

   • Serve with a side of marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping.

🔄 Variations

• Add Veggies: Sautéed spinach, caramelized onions, or roasted red peppers.

• Make it Spicy: Add hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the filling.

• Low-Carb Option: Use low-carb tortillas or wrap in lettuce.
