Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas 12-inch
- 16 ounces salsa 1 jar
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese divided
Burrito Filling
- 1 rotisserie chicken small
- 8 ounces mild diced green chilies 2 x 4 ounce cans
- 24 ounces fire-roasted diced tomatoes 1 can, or canned tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 9x13" casserole with non-stick spray, set aside.
- Remove skin from chicken and pick the meat off in bite-size pieces. Place into a bowl.
- Set a 12" skillet over medium heat, add burrito filling ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Cook the burrito filling mixture until it’s warm, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the chicken and stir to combine. If there is a lot of moisture in the skillet keep cooking over medium just until the water cooks off.
- Add an equal amount of chicken to the center of each burrito and top them equally with 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheese (reserve ½ cup).
- Roll them up burrito style and set them seam side down in the prepared casserole dish. Spoon the salsa over the burritos and top with remaining shredded cheese.
- Add the dish to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burritos are warm throughout.

Notes
- We like to bake these burritos but you can also cook them in a lightly oiled pan until browned and crisp on all sides and serve with salsa (instead of baking with salsa).
