Whether you need a quick lunch, a healthy meal prep option, or just a protein-packed dinner, this recipe won't let you down.

Why I Love This Recipe

This recipe is courtesy of my best friend Sara, who somehow always finds creative ways to use rotisserie chicken. She made these burritos a couple of months back and gave me a handful to keep in my freezer so I'd have a quick delicious meal ready to go at a moment's notice.

Well, in theory, that was a good plan. Buuuut, then I ended up eating all of them within a week after her giving them to me. After that happened, I begged her for the recipe because I wanted to keep them stocked in my freezer all year long. Thankfully she was kind enough to share it with me, and now I'm sharing it with you.

Ingredients

Here's everything you need to make these buffalo chicken burritos:

• 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
• ½ cup buffalo sauce
• ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
• 3 oz reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 tortillas

How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Burritos

Just a handful of simple steps are all you have to follow to make these rotisserie chicken burritos!

Step 1: Make the Chicken Filling

In a large bowl, mix the shredded rotisserie chicken with buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar.

Stir until well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Burritos

Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface and evenly distribute the chicken mixture among them.

Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito.

Step 3: Toast the Burritos

Heat a teaspoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and toast for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately with ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, or a side of veggies.

Step 5: Store for Later

If making ahead, store burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for the best texture.

My Expert Tips

• Crispier Burritos: For an extra crunchy texture, use a panini press or air fryer instead of a skillet.
• Make It Spicier: Add diced jalapeños or extra buffalo sauce for more heat.
• Meal Prep Friendly: These burritos freeze well! Wrap them in foil and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Pair with Dips: Serve with ranch dressing, guacamole, or a side of coleslaw for a complete meal.
