instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing the chicken patties. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.

    2

    Mix well until the ingredients are combined, forming a mixture. Shape the mixture into patties; you should have around four patties.

    3

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Once hot, add the chicken patties carefully.

    4

    Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let them cool.

    5

    While the patties are cooling, chop the lettuce, tomato, and onion into small pieces for the burrito filling.

    6

    To assemble the burritos, take a tortilla and place a chicken patty in the center, followed by a generous amount of lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.

    7

    Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the filling inside.

    8

    Repeat this process for all tortillas. You can lightly toast the burritos in a dry pan to crisp the outside, which should take about 3-5 minutes per side.

    9

    Serve warm with additional hot sauce if desired.
