Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

Warm the tortillas according to the package instructions.
Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla.

Fold in the sides and roll the tortillas tightly.
Step 3: Baking the Burritos
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the burritos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavor.
Feel free to substitute whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
Add salsa or guacamole inside the burrito for extra zest.
