Ingredients:

16 oz chicken breasts
450g
2 cups canned tomatoes
510g
1 cup tomato sauce
240g
6 tortillas
430g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
54g
3 cups lettuce
140g
1 red pepper
120g
1.50 cups onion
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. The chicken should be golden brown and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onions and diced red pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are soft and fragrant.
- Add the canned tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken pieces in the sauce mixture. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
- Evenly distribute the chicken and sauce mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Top with a generous handful of shredded lettuce.
5. Roll the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly from one end to the other, enclosing the filling completely.
6. Bake the Burritos:
- Arrange the rolled burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve:
- Remove the burritos from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the stuffed chicken burritos with any additional desired toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite spices or a simple mix of salt, pepper, and lime juice for extra flavor.

- Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly before shredding them for an easier and smoother filling.

- Warm the tortillas briefly in a pan or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to wrap.

- Don't overstuff the tortillas to prevent them from tearing; aim for a balanced amount of filling.

- Feel free to add extra ingredients like black beans, corn, or avocado for additional texture and taste.

- Serve with a side of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for extra flavor and dipping.

With a few simple steps and some essential ingredients, you can create a delicious and wholesome meal that the whole family will enjoy. Stuffed Chicken Burritos are versatile, allowing you to customize each one to your liking and making them a surefire hit at any dinner table.
