  • 2
    Cook chicken, you can fry it or even boil it. Chop and shred the chicken, and season it with seasoned salt or salt and pepper.
  • 3
    Take large skillet, pour oil in so the outside of burrito can get crunchy. Take burrito and spread your sauce on top, add cheese to one half of the burrito, and then top with chicken.
