Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked and diced chicken breast
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 diced avocados
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large burrito-sized flour tortillas

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This is an essential step to ensure your burritos cook evenly and come out perfectly golden.
  2. While the oven heats, spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. This will help prevent your burritos from sticking, making clean-up a breeze.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked and diced chicken breast, 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 diced avocados, 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, ¼ cup of sour cream, ½ teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt until thoroughly incorporated. The mixture should be creamy and well-seasoned, with the chicken and avocados blending beautifully with the spices and cheese.
  4. Take one of your large burrito-sized flour tortillas and spread ¼ of the mixture into the center. Be generous, as this filling is what makes these burritos so satisfying!
  5. Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure. Place the rolled burrito seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. This will help it hold its shape while baking.
  6. Repeat for the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used. You should have a delightful tray of filled tortillas ready to go.
  7. Once all the burritos are on the baking sheet, put them in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you're looking for the edges to turn lightly brown and the center to be heated throughout. The smell will be heavenly!
  8. When they’re done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the burritos cool for a few minutes before serving; this prevents burns from the hot filling.
  9. Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream or salsa, and enjoy your homemade Baked Chicken Avocado Burritos. They are sure to be a hit!

Notes

Leftover burritos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore that crispy exterior. You can freeze burritos before baking. Wrap them individually in foil and store in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, bake them directly from the freezer; just add a few extra minutes to the bake time.
