Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter so that everything is within reach. Chop your chicken into bite-sized pieces and season them generously with salt and pepper.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through—about 6-8 minutes—until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Mix in Flavor: Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over it while adding chopped cilantro. The zesty lime will enhance all those savory flavors beautifully.
Assemble Your Burritos: Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Place a generous scoop of chicken in the center followed by avocado slices and pico de gallo.
Wrap It Up!: Fold in the sides of the tortilla then roll it tightly from one end to another. Securely wrap each burrito to keep all that goodness inside.
Enjoy!: Slice each burrito in half diagonally for that Instagram-worthy shot before serving them up hot! Enjoy your tasty creation with extra lime wedges on the side.
Now you have your very own mouthwatering Chicken Avocado Banch Burritos ready to impress family or friends!
