Tips:

  • Prep the chicken ahead of time: You can cook the chicken up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the burritos.
  • Use a good quality salsa verde: The salsa verde is a key component of this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality one. You can find good salsa verde at most grocery stores, or you can make your own.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Otherwise, they will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once you've assembled the burritos, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Serve immediately: These burritos are best served immediately after they're made. However, you can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

The Tortilla Omelet Burrito with Pulled Chicken and Salsa Verde is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time.
