Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  
  

• ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  
  

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
  

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder 

• ½ teaspoon paprika
  
  

• 1 teaspoon salt
  
  

• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  
  

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)
  
  

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  
  

• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  
  

• 2–3 large flour tortillas
  
  

• 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the burritos)
  
  

• Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   
   

2. Dredge each chicken strip in the mixture until fully coated.
   
   

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add chicken strips in batches; cook about 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
   
   

4. Transfer chicken to a plate, let rest briefly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
   
   

5. Lay tortillas out. Place cheese in the center of each tortilla, top with chopped chicken and red pepper flakes if desired.
   
   

6. Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll from the bottom to form tight burritos.
   
   

7. Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down and toast 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
   
   

8. Slice burritos in half, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
