Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked and seasoned chicken (optional)
- 1/2 cup sautéed bell peppers and onions
- Butter or margarine for grilling
- Sour cream and salsa for serving
- Fresh lettuce and tomato slices (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preparing all your ingredients, including shredding the cheese, cooking the chicken, and sautéing the vegetables. Keeping everything ready will streamline the assembly process.
- Lay each tortilla flat on a surface. Spread cheese evenly across the middle, then add cooked chicken, sautéed peppers, onions, and other desired fillings. Roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito, folding in the sides as you go.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Butter the outside of the burritos lightly. Place the assembled burritos seam-side down on the skillet. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted, creating that irresistible grilled cheese flavor.
- Once grilled to perfection, cut the burritos in half diagonally. Serve hot with toppings like sour cream and salsa. For a fresh touch, add lettuce and tomato slices. Enjoy your delicious grilled cheese burrito!
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle some extra cheese or toppings before grilling.
- Make sure not to overstuff the burritos to keep them easy to roll and grill evenly.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve a crispy exterior.
