Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Shallow Bowl

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

Breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Tortillas

  • 2-3 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the burritos)

Garnish

  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix.
  • Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, making sure each piece is coated thoroughly.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until each strip is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Lay out each flour tortilla on a clean surface. Place a layer of shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla, then add a generous portion of crispy chicken. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if using.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to form a tight burrito.
  • Melt the butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  • Slice each burrito in half and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, use panko breadcrumbs or double-dip the chicken strips in the breadcrumb mixture. You can customize the cheese and toppings to your liking.
