Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
- 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp salsa
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla Layering: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly spread the shredded cheddar cheese over the entire surface to ensure every bite has cheesy goodness.
- Add the Fillings: On one half of the tortilla, layer the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and salsa, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor and texture.
- Fold the Burrito: Carefully fold the tortilla over the fillings to create a half-moon shape, pressing gently to seal and keep the ingredients inside.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook the Burrito: Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese burrito from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping or topping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add extra beans or vegetables.
- If using frozen corn, thaw before adding to the filling mixture.
- Feel free to add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Cooking on medium heat helps avoid burning the tortilla while ensuring the cheese melts properly.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
