Ingredients

Chicken Filling:

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 lb skinless and boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 ½ cups refried beans
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup water

Burritos:

  • 2 cups Mexican rice
  • 1 cup canned corn
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

  • - In a bowl, combine the salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well.
  • - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • - Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
  • - Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • - In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.

Step 2: Assembling the Burritos

  • - Warm the flour tortillas according to the package instructions.
  • - Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tortilla.
  • - Spoon a generous portion of the chicken filling onto each tortilla, followed by Mexican rice, corn, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  • - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.

Step 3: Baking the Burritos

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the assembled burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the burritos in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the tortillas are slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the burritos to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy your delicious chicken burritos!

Notes

  • If you have leftovers, you can store the Taco Bell Chicken Burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, make sure to wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and microwave for about one to two minutes, or until heated through. 
  • Alternatively, you can also freeze the burritos for longer storage. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a resealable freezer bag. 
  • They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw the burrito in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat as mentioned earlier.
