Tortillas filled with shredded chicken, avocado, cheese, and cilantro, crisped to golden perfection in minutes.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
02 -
1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend or mozzarella, shredded
03 -
1 avocado, diced
04 -
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
05 -
4 large flour tortillas
06 -
1 tablespoon neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado. Stir gently to maintain avocado shape and ensure even distribution.
02 -
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately one quarter of the filling evenly across the center, edge to edge. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling and prevent leakage.
03 -
Heat oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place burritos seam-side down and cook for 2 minutes until the exterior is deeply golden and crisp, sealing the roll.
04 -
Flip each burrito and cook the opposite side for 1 minute until evenly browned. Adjust heat as needed for uniform crispness. Remove from heat and let rest briefly before serving.
05 -
Serve burritos warm, optionally sliced in half. Complement with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce according to preference.
# Extra Tips & Details:
01 -
Burritos can be prepared ahead and frozen cooked or uncooked for up to three months without loss of flavor or texture.
02 -
Warm tortillas briefly before rolling to prevent cracking.
03 -
Avoid overfilling to ensure easy rolling and prevent leakage.
04 -
For added flavor, incorporate salsa or hot sauce into the filling prior to rolling.
