Advice

When making chicken burritos, it's essential to prepare all the ingredients ahead of time to make the assembly process easier. Start by seasoning and cooking the chicken, then prepare the other ingredients such as beans, cheese, and salsa. Once all the ingredients are ready, heat the tortillas and begin to fill them with the prepped ingredients. Make sure to spread the fillings evenly to ensure that each bite is filled with flavor. Additionally, adding different toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce can add an extra layer of flavor. Finally, fold the burrito tightly and enjoy!
