Season the chicken thighs with half of the taco seasoning packet.
Air fry the chicken at 375°F for 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, combine Greek yogurt, tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes), cream cheese wedges, cilantro, corn, black beans, and pico de gallo in a skillet.
Heat the skillet over medium heat, stirring until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well combined.
Stir in the remaining half of the taco seasoning packet.
Once cooked, chop the chicken into small pieces.
Add the chopped chicken to the skillet with the sauce and mix to combine.
Stir in the shredded pepper jack cheese until it's melted into the filling.
For easier rolling, you can optionally transfer the filling to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to thicken. Skip this step if eating immediately.
Divide the filling evenly among the flour tortillas.
Roll each tortilla into a burrito, then wrap tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Store in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for longer-term meal prep.
Wrap individual burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat thawed burritos at 350°F for 15–20 minutes or from frozen for 25–30 minutes.
Yes. Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes.
Boneless skinless chicken thighs are ideal because they stay moist and tender during cooking, unlike breast meat which can dry out.
Yes, but Greek yogurt adds more protein and a lighter texture. Use equal amounts of sour cream if you prefer a tangier filling.
Unwrap and place on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, microwave for 2–3 minutes.
Yes. Increase Greek yogurt by 2 tablespoons for creaminess, or use an extra 80g of tomato sauce mixed with the existing sauce for body.
