Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet.
- Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.
2. Shred the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
3. Prepare the Tortillas:
- Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 15-20 seconds.
4. Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Evenly distribute a portion of the shredded chicken onto the center of the tortilla.
- Top the chicken with a portion of sliced avocado.
- Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese over the avocado.
- Add a pinch of chopped coriander leaves on top for freshness.
5. Roll the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to secure all the fillings inside.
- Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
6. Serve:
- Serve the chicken and avocado burritos warm.
- Optionally, you can slice the burritos in half for easier handling.

Tips:

- Season the chicken: Marinate the chicken breasts with your favorite spices or a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking to enhance the flavor.

- Don't overfill the tortillas: Be mindful not to overstuff the tortillas as it may make them difficult to roll and can lead to a messy eating experience.

- Warm the tortillas: Briefly warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave before filling them to make them more pliable and easier to roll.

- Customize to taste: Feel free to add extra ingredients like salsa, sour cream, or jalapeños to suit your taste preferences.

- Serve immediately: These burritos are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them right after assembly while the cheese is still melted and the ingredients are warm.
