- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
- Place the wrapped burrito seam-side down in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cut each burrito in half and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side. By following these steps, you’ll have delicious Ultimate Chicken Burritos ready in no time!
