I put this Copycat Burrito Grande together after eating the yummy Burrito Grande at the Cheesecake Factory. It’s pretty darn close to the real thing, and it’s so dang tasty. This is my homemade version of the Cheesecake Factory Burrito Grande.
Don’t forget all of the fixings too. Like guacamole, bean salsa , tomatoes and sour cream to go with this delicious chicken burrito.
If you like enchilada sauce, add some to the bottom of the pan. I think either green or red would be a delicious addition to this recipe.
You can even freeze these burritos ahead of time which makes life so much easier.
How do you freeze burritos?
- Do not add the cheese topping. Freeze wrapped burritos in a zip tight freezer bag. When ready to heat for dinner, add frozen burritos to your baking pan. (If you want enchilada sauce under your burritos, add that to the bottom of the pan before placing burritos down). Sprinkle top of burritos with cheese.
How do you Reheat Frozen Burritos?
Bake an extra 10-15 minutes to allow the burritos to thaw and heat through.

Notes

I made this for dinner for my family this evening. It was so good, we had no leftovers!! Thank you for the recipe..
I’m so happy that it was a hit! Thank you for coming back to comment. You made my day!
What size pan ? Should I add enchilada sauce
Thank you for asking that. Use a 9×13 Baking Dish. I updated the recipe to include this information. I haven’t used enchilada sauce with this recipe, but if I did, I would use the green enchilada sauce and pour it into the bottom of the pan before adding the rolled up burritos. I always love dishes with sauce. I think this would be a great addition. It’s totally up to you though. If you add all of the toppings that I suggested, there is plenty to dunk your burritos into.
