This is a great make-ahead recipe. The burritos can be formed and wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. They they just need to be pan-fried until crispy on all sides.

The filling can also be made a day or two in advance. Then you have a super easy weeknight meal that is so delicious.

Jalapeno Popper Chicken Burritos are a great way to use up leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.

The amount of jalapenos can be toned down if you don’t want them spicy. If you want them super spicy, add extra jalapenos. Want to cool them down a little? Serve them with Ranch dressing or guacamole.

In addition to the cream cheese and chicken filling, I also like to stuff these burritos with some Mexican rice.

Jalapeno Popper Chicken Burritos make a great way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Serve them with some Pineapple-Cinnamon Margaritas.

  1. These look delicious! I would like to try and make them!
    Could you cook them in an air fryer though, instead of in a pan with oil? Has anyone tried this? Thank You!

  2. I used fresh jalapeños instead off canned and wheat tortillas then baked in the oven for 20 mins
