Chicken Avacado Burritos

I wanted to share a recipe that we had a couple weeks ago.  It was a hit with all four of us, which is rare, so we will definitely be making these more often.  It is really simple and quick which is a must in our house.  The ingredient list is fairly short.  You will need some chicken, cheese, tortillas, avocado, sour cream, and a few kitchen staples. 

Season and cook your chicken on the stove.  When it’s done cut it up and mix it with your cheese and avocado.  Spread some sour cream on your tortillas and add the chicken mixture.  Then you’ll roll up your tortilla and cook it in your pan so it’s crisp and warm.  This only takes a minute or two and you are set to eat!

Brady will eat avacado like an apple so I like to buy extra for an appetizer for him.  Also, I need to have salsa with tortillas so if you’re like me you may want to add that as well for a little kick.

Another idea to make this meal even faster would be to use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.  They are fairly inexpensive and you would be able to use the remaining for another meal as well with a little planning ahead.

I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
