- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound cooked leftover chicken, chopped or shredded
- 1/3 cup Frank’s Original Hot Sauce

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Notes
Make Ahead: Coat aluminum foil sheets with cooking spray. Wrap each burrito in a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Refrigerate for up to three (3) days. When ready to enjoy, preheat oven to 350°F. Place foil-wrapped burritos on the oven rack. Bake, until the burritos, are hot and the cheese is melted about 20 to 30 minutes.
