This recipe could not be easier to make. It is a series of steps that consist of dumping an ingredient into a frying pan, allowing it to warm through for a few minutes and then adding another ingredient. The final product is these satisfying chicken burritos that feed a crowd.

I often shred the rotisserie chicken the night and cook the rice to speed things up the day I put these together. The chicken burrito mixture requires so little of my time an effort that it allows me to put out all the fixings and set up the “burrito bar” while the mixture is warming through.
I often serve these burritos with a heaping batch of my “Easy Guacamole.”
Remember Spring 2020? Yeah....not fun. Although it taught me that I don't always have the correct ingredient to make dinner....you improvise. I called it COVID cooking. Most of the time, my family didn't even realize the substitutions.
I substituted Rotel for salsa and all they had in the store was a bag of rice that you warm in the microwave....and it worked just fine.
