Gather all your fresh ingredients for a delicious meal.

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, taco seasoning, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green chilies. Stir until well mixed, then set aside.
- Tip: For even more flavor, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the cubed Velveeta and the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir occasionally until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, spread slightly, and roll it up to form a burrito.
Arrange the burritos side by side in a 9×13 casserole dish. Pour the warm queso evenly over the top of the burritos.
Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes until heated through and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Ingredient Substitutions: You can easily replace shredded chicken with shredded beef or even black beans for a vegetarian option.
Optional Variations: Add some corn or black olives to the chicken mixture for an added crunch and flavor.
Storage/Reheating Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through for the best texture.
