Looking for a quick, delicious meal that combines the rich flavors of Mexican cuisine with the creamy goodness of avocado? Try making Chicken Avocado Burritos! This recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or a relaxing weekend meal. It’s also incredibly easy to prepare and takes just about 10 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken – You can use leftover chicken or cook some specifically for this dish.
• 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend or mozzarella – Both cheeses work well, offering a nice, melty texture.
• 1 avocado, diced – Adds a creamy, rich flavor that complements the chicken beautifully.
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped – Gives a fresh, herby lift to the burritos.
• 4 large tortillas – The base of your burritos; choose flour tortillas for best results.
• 1 tablespoon oil – For cooking the burritos to crispy perfection.

Directions:

1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, your choice of cheese, cilantro, and diced avocado. This mixture is the heart of your burritos, providing all the flavor and texture you’ll love.
2. Assemble the burritos: Take one tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla. Carefully roll the tortilla around the filling, ensuring it is snug but not so tight that it tears. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas.
3. Cook the burritos: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan or on a griddle over medium-high heat. Place the burritos seam side down and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden and crispy. The cheese will melt, and the tortillas will have a nice crunch.
4. Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, serve the burritos warm. They are perfect as is, or you can accompany them with some salsa, sour cream, or a fresh salad to add even more flavor and texture.
