Ingredients

Scale

For the Burrito Filling

  • 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

For Grilling

  • Butter or margarine for grilling

For Serving

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • Fresh lettuce and tomato slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by shredding the cheese, cooking and seasoning the chicken, and sautéing the bell peppers and onions until tender. Having all your fillings ready will make assembling the burritos quick and efficient.
  2. Assemble Burritos: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread shredded sharp cheddar cheese across the center, then add the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a burrito.
  3. Grill Burritos: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside of each burrito to promote browning. Place the burritos seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted, infusing the burrito with a rich grilled cheese flavor.
  4. Serve: Remove the burritos from the skillet and cut them diagonally in half. Serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side. For added freshness and texture, garnish with lettuce and tomato slices if desired. Enjoy your delicious and easy grilled cheese burritos!

Notes

  • You can omit the chicken to make this recipe vegetarian.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or grill pan for easier cooking and cleanup.
  • For extra flavor, add spices such as cumin or chili powder to the chicken seasoning.
  • Leftover grilled cheese burritos can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven for best texture.
  • Substitute cheddar with other melting cheeses like Monterey Jack or mozzarella if preferred.
