Main Ingredients
- 10 Soft Taco Size Flour Tortillas
- 4-5 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1-2 cans Refried Beans
- Shredded cheese – Mexican blend (about 2 cups)
- 8 ounce Bag of Shredded Queso Quesadilla Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the burrito ring.
- Season Chicken: Prepare the cooked shredded chicken as desired and mix in the taco seasoning according to package instructions, usually adding a little water to combine the flavors.
- Heat Beans: Warm the refried beans on the stovetop or in a microwave until hot and easy to spread.
- Prepare Tortillas: Cut each flour tortilla in half to create manageable halves for rolling into burrito bundles.
- Fill Tortillas: On a clean cutting board, place a scoop of refried beans, some seasoned shredded chicken, and shredded Mexican blend cheese in the center of each tortilla half.
- Roll Burritos: Roll each tortilla half into a cone shape securely, forming individual burrito bundles as demonstrated in the referenced TikTok video.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a pie dish with nonstick spray for easy removal and place a small bowl in the center of the dish to help arrange the burrito ring evenly.
- Assemble Burrito Ring Bottom Layer: Arrange 12 burrito bundles around the small bowl in the pie dish.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle half of the shredded queso quesadilla cheese over the burrito bundles on the bottom layer.
- Assemble Burrito Ring Top Layer: Arrange the remaining 8 burrito bundles on top of the first layer in between each bundle below to complete the ring.
- Add Final Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the remaining queso quesadilla cheese evenly over the top layer of burrito bundles.
- Remove Center Bowl: Carefully remove the small bowl from the center of the dish, leaving a circular space.
- Bake: Place the assembled burrito ring in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are warm and slightly crisped.
- Prepare Dips: While the burrito ring bakes, prepare your preferred sides such as guacamole, salsa, or a secret dipping sauce for serving.
- Serve: Remove the burrito ring from the oven and serve immediately with extra chicken or beans on the side as desired.
Notes
- Store leftover burrito bundles in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for quick meals.
- Use extra refried beans on the side instead of overfilling the tortillas to prevent bursting while rolling.
- Feel free to substitute chicken with beef, pork, or a vegetarian protein like beans or tofu.
- If preferred, use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten free.
- To make rolling easier, warm tortillas slightly to increase flexibility.
