Cheesy Fiesta Chicken Burritos
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then move it to a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Add 1 cup shredded cheese, the bell pepper, sour cream, olives, salsa, jalapeño, and cilantro to the chicken; stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Spoon 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla. Fold and roll the tortilla to fully enclose the filling, then place it seam-side down in a small baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

  5. 5

    Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy, about 20 minutes.
