60 minutes

Chicken burrito is a vibrant dish of Mexican cuisine that combines tender chicken meat, fresh vegetables, and aromatic spices wrapped in a soft tortilla. The history of burrito traces back to the northern regions of Mexico where it became a popular street food. In this recipe, chicken is paired with sweet pepper, beans, and corn to create a rich and balanced flavor. The mild spiciness of garlic and coriander adds zest to the dish while melted cheese makes it incredibly appetizing. Serving with salsa adds freshness and a hint of acidity. This dish is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and its versatility allows for experimentation with fillings and spices to taste.
