Tips

  • Place entire batch of buffalo chicken dip/filling in fridge or freezer until thickened, usually this takes 45-60 mins.
  • If your chicken happens to carry more water than mine, I’d recommend removing the excess liquid after cooking (reserve it on the side) and add back in to create desired consistency.
  • Weigh the entirety of your filling and divide by 18 to evenly distribute filling across each burrito
  • These will stay good in the freezer for 3+ months.
  • To reheat using a microwave: Microwave for 3-4 minutes, flip halfway.
  • To reheat using an oven or air fryer: Microwave for 2 minutes to defrost, then add to oven or air fryer at 400 degrees until tortilla begins to brown and is slightly crispy, 6-10 minutes (faster in air fryer).
