Chicken and Avocado Burritos Recipe

You can find this and other recipes in the CHICKEN BREAST RECIPES collection.
Start the preparation of the chicken and avocado burritos by cutting the chicken breast into fairly small cubes.
Heat a pan with two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the chicken and season it with salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, stirring it occasionally.
Transfer it to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
Cut the avocados in half and extract the pulp with a spoon, removing the central seed.
Add the juice of half a lemon (or alternatively a lime).
Mash the pulp with a potato masher or a fork (to be faster, you can use an immersion blender)
Add a finely chopped red Tropea onion and a pinch of salt to the mashed avocados.
Heat the tortillas in a pan for one minute on each side.
Fill them starting with a slice of cheddar. Continue with the avocado, chicken, a tablespoon of sour cream, and some tomato slices.
Roll the tortilla with care to fold the sides so the filling does not spill out.
Repeat the operation with the remaining tortillas.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle. Add the tortillas and cook them for one minute on each side, starting with the closed side down.
Once cooking is complete, immediately serve your chicken and avocado tortillas!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use another type of cheese?
To stay in the Tex-Mex theme, I recommend Mexican Queso or Monterey Jack (not too aged).

Of course! Even a couple of days ahead, storing them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They are perfect as a packed lunch for work or university.
Can I substitute sour cream?
Yes, you can make a quick sauce with plain yogurt and lemon juice.
