    🏫 The last word

    Buffalo Chicken Burritos can be enjoyed several ways. Hot or cold and with a variations of fillings.

    Spray the outside of the tortilla with cooking spray and after it has been wrapped, place burritos in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Or, place the burrito in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 4-6 minutes, flipping the burrito over half way through.

    I also like to skip the flour tortilla and rice entirely and make buffalo chicken burrito bowls for a low carb version. Or, use a low carb tortilla and eliminate the rice, using cauliflower rice instead if desired. When I do this I like to add extra salsa and guacamole to the bowl.
