👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Season the chicken breast with garlic salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika, and mix well.

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Air fry chicken at exactly 375°F because this temperature creates optimal Maillard reaction while maintaining 165°F internal temp without overcooking the exterior.technique375°F air fryer temp
- ✓Cook bacon to 160-170°F internal temperature for optimal crispiness - fat renders completely at this range while proteins set firm enough to maintain crunch when mixed with sauce.timing160-170°F internal temp
- ✓Blend cottage cheese mixture for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth because lumpy proteins will create uneven moisture distribution and cause tortilla tearing during rolling.technique60-90 seconds blending
- ✓Use tortillas at room temperature and fill with mixture cooled to 120°F or below - hot filling creates steam that makes tortillas soggy and prevents proper sealing.timing120°F max filling temp
- ✓Limit filling to 3/4 cup per 10-inch tortilla because overfilling beyond this ratio prevents proper gluten network formation during rolling and causes burrito rupture.technique3/4 cup per 10-inch tortilla
