Main Ingredients
- 10 Soft Taco Size Flour Tortillas
- 4-5 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1-2 cans Refried Beans
- Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese, quantity as desired
- 8 ounce Bag of Shredded Queso Quesadilla Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the burrito ring.
- Prepare Chicken: Cook and shred your chicken as preferred, then mix in the taco seasoning packet, adding a little water as needed to coat the chicken evenly.
- Warm Beans: Heat the refried beans until warm and easier to spread inside the tortillas.
- Cut Tortillas: Cut each of the flour tortillas in half to prepare them for stuffing and rolling.
- Stuff Tortillas: Place a scoop of refried beans, a scoop of seasoned shredded chicken, and some shredded Mexican blend cheese in the center of each tortilla half.
- Roll Bundles: Roll each tortilla half into a cone-shaped burrito bundle as demonstrated in the referenced TikTok video.
- Prepare Pie Dish: Spray a pie dish with nonstick spray and place a small bowl in the center to create a ring shape.
- Arrange Burritos: Place 12 of the burrito bundles around the small bowl in the pie dish in a ring formation.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle half of the bag of shredded queso quesadilla cheese evenly over the first layer of burrito bundles.
- Top with More Burritos: Arrange the remaining 8 burrito bundles on top of the first layer, filling the ring.
- Final Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded queso cheese evenly over the top layer of burritos.
- Remove Bowl: Carefully remove the small bowl from the center to reveal a hollow center in the ring.
- Bake Burrito Ring: Place the pie dish in the oven and bake the burrito ring for 20 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the bundles to heat through.
- Prepare Dips: While baking, prepare guacamole, salsa, or any preferred dipping sauces to serve with the burrito ring.
- Serve: Remove the burrito ring from the oven and serve immediately, optionally adding extra chicken or beans on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Store leftover burrito bundles in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for a quick snack or meal.
- Use extra refried beans on the side rather than trying to stuff too much inside to prevent overflow during baking.
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite proteins, cheeses, or add vegetables like diced peppers or onions.
- Nonstick spray helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
