Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
- How to Freeze: Making this smothered shredded chicken burrito recipe into a freezer meal is simple! Follow the steps below and you can store this recipe in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- How to Reheat: This can be reheated in the microwave in 30 second increments.
- Chicken – Any pre-cooked, mild-flavored chicken will work for shredded chicken burritos. Leftovers, boiled or baked chicken breasts, or rotisserie chicken are all great options.
- Corn – To swap in frozen corn, thaw it completely first and drain off any extra liquid.
- Black Beans – You can use canned black beans, or make a batch of black beans in the crockpot. Pinto beans are a great alternative too.
- Salsa – Use your favorite store bought salsa or whip up a batch of homemade salsa.
- Taco Seasoning – One packet of store bought taco seasoning provides all salt and spices we need. Use an entire packet or two tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning.
- Red Enchilada Sauce – Either canned or homemade enchilada sauce will work. We like red, but green is fine if you like that better.
- Cheddar Cheese – A Mexican blend, Monterey jack, or even pepper jack can also be used.
- in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
- in the freezer up to a month
- Mix the chicken filling and transfer to a freezer safe bag.
- Freeze the filling and tortillas separately.
- When ready to make thaw both in the fridge for 24-48 hours.
- Make the recipe from step 3, using fresh cheese for the filling and topping.
