Add in refried beans and enchilada sauce. Cook for another few minutes until everything is combined. Remove from heat. 2) Heat another saute pan over medium heat.  3) Microwave tortillas for about 10 seconds so they are easy to fold. 4) Add filling and top with cheese, roll into a burrito and place seam side down on the pan.

These are the best!!!! You can make fajita size (smaller) or larger size like I did here. Either way they are very good. I always grill the chicken for fajitas - it makes it more authentic. :) Makes: 4 Ingredients: 3 chicken breasts 2 bell peppers any color, sliced 1 jalepeno, sliced 1 small onion, sliced Shredded cheese Sour cream 4 tortillas, burrito size Directions: 1) Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the peppers and onions until soft and transluent, about 15 minutes.  2) Flavor your chicken with your favorite spice, I use Kickin Chicken from Weber. Grill for about 8 min a side. When cool, slice up 3) Layer the tortilla, cheese, pepper mix, chicken, and then sour cream. Roll into a burrito and enjoy!
