Chicken and avocado burritos are a delicious and satisfying meal, perfect for any time of the day. Packed with protein from the chicken, healthy fats from the avocado, and the creamy texture of mozzarella cheese, these burritos are sure to be a hit.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
240g
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
54g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 avocado
200g
4 tortillas
100g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

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.
