Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
– 1/2 medium onion, diced
– 1/2 medium bell pepper, diced
– 1 jalapeño pepper, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 packet of taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
– 8-10 flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
– Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced avocado, sour cream, salsa
Instructions:
1. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Soften the vegetables: Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add taco seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute.
4. Assemble the burritos: Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
5. Fill the burritos: Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of a tortilla, followed by 1/4 cup of refried beans, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, and any desired toppings.
6. Roll the burritos: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll the burrito up tightly. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
7. Serve and enjoy: Serve the burritos hot, with your favorite toppings and sauces.

– Use different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, for a unique flavor.
– Experiment with different types of tortillas, such as whole wheat or corn tortillas, for a different texture.
