Spicy chicken burrito

The burrito is a triumph of practicality: a complete meal wrapped up. The secret lies in the moisture content of the filling: it must be juicy but not runny, otherwise it soaks the dough. Under heat, the tortilla becomes flexible, and the cheese acts as glue holding the package together.
