Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken cools, mash the avocados in a bowl with lime juice until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Lay the tortillas flat; spread mashed avocado in the center and top with sliced chicken.
- Add shredded cheese and drizzle with Greek yogurt or sour cream along with hot sauce.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly into a burrito shape. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- For extra crispiness, grill burritos seam-side down in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side.
