Preparation
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.
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.
Assembly and Baking
Arrange the burritos side by side in a 9x13 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!
For added crunch and flavor, consider mixing in corn or black olives. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through for the best texture.
