Fast and flavorful burritos packed with chicken, avocado, and cheese. Perfect for a weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 burrito sized tortillas, warmed
- 1 pound cooked chicken, sliced or shredded
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup salsa verde
- 1/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Lay out one warmed burrito tortilla flat. Arrange about a quarter of the cooked chicken in a strip horizontally across the lower third, leaving space on the sides and bottom. Add about a quarter of the diced avocado over the chicken.
- Sprinkle about a quarter cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken and avocado. Drizzle about a tablespoon of salsa verde over the cheese. Dollop about a tablespoon of sour cream or greek yogurt over the salsa verde.
- Sprinkle about half a tablespoon of chopped cilantro over the ingredients. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Tightly roll the tortilla upward from the bottom edge.
- Repeat the assembly and rolling process for the remaining three tortillas, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Optional: Heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Notes
Warm the tortillas for easy folding and sealing. Customize the fillings to suit your taste!
