Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless chicken
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 1 tbsp light olive oil for frying
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 12 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 10 raw tortillas
Instructions
- Slice the chicken into 2-inch pieces.
- Preheat a skillet with a little bit of olive oil over medium-heat. Add the chicken into the skillet. Season it with some salt and sauté it until fully-cooked.
- Dice the tomatoes and onions into small pieces. Add the onions into the skillet and sauté them until they begin to soften and turn translucent. Next, add in the tomatoes and sauté the chicken for another 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken cool at room temperature.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the chicken and work it in with your hands, breaking the larger pieces of chicken apart as you go.
- Place a few tablespoons of chicken into the middle of a tortilla, forming a little tube out of the filling.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly and stack them them on a baking dish together.
- Preheat the skillet with 1/2 cup of light olive oil over medium-low heat. Fry two burritos at a time until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve the burritos immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping. Enjoy!
