Parmesan Garlic Chicken Burritos wrap buttery seasoned chicken, crisp crinkle fries, mozzarella, and warm white queso in large flour tortillas. A light coating of Parmesan-garlic wing sauce gives the chicken its signature flavor, and a final skillet toast makes the wraps crisp outside.
The recipe makes exactly 4 loaded burritos. Preparation takes 5 minutes, cooking takes 25 minutes, and the listed total is 30 minutes. Cooking the fries until genuinely crisp before assembly is the key contrast inside the warm, cheesy filling.
Parmesan Garlic Chicken Burritos Ingredients
For the chicken, use 1 pound chicken breast cut into cubes or strips, 2 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Add Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic sauce, or a similar Parmesan-garlic wing sauce, using only enough to coat.
Cook 1 bag crinkle-cut frozen fries. For assembly, gather 4 burrito-size flour tortillas, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, and ½ cup white queso sauce.
