Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare Mexican Chicken: Follow the Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken recipe instructions. Drain any excess liquid from the chicken once done. 🍗
2️⃣ Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top. 🔥
3️⃣ Assemble Burritos: Lay out the tortillas and distribute a heaping ½ cup of the Mexican Chicken filling onto each. Sprinkle your desired amount of cheese on top of the filling, then roll up each tortilla burrito-style. Place the burritos seam-side down on the baking rack. Lightly brush each burrito with olive oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. 🌯
4️⃣ Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the burritos turn golden. For added crispiness, broil each side until golden brown to your liking. ⏳
5️⃣ Make the Sauce: While the burritos are baking, prepare the Cheesy Green Chili Sour Cream Sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low, then gradually whisk in the warmed chicken broth. Add the cumin, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the green chilies and cheese until melted. Finally, blend in the sour cream and add hot sauce if desired. 🍲
6️⃣ Serve: Drizzle the Cheesy Green Chili Sour Cream Sauce over the baked burritos and add any of the optional toppings you prefer. 🍅🥑🌿🌶️
