How to Make Mild Chicken Burritos

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of green chili sauce to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded), 2 cups cooked rice, 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Lay out one 10-inch flour tortilla (or whole wheat for a healthier option). Place 1-2 slices of Swiss cheese in the center.
  5. Spoon approximately 1/5 of the chicken mixture onto the cheese.
  6. Tightly roll the tortilla and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining tortillas (about 5-6, depending on size).
  8. Pour 1 cup of your favorite green chili sauce evenly over the burritos.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  12. For extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese over the burritos during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  13. Serve immediately with Mexican corn on the cob or your favorite sides.
  14. Enjoy!
