- To ensure flexibility, heat the large flour tortillas in a pan or microwave until they are soft and pliable. You can microwave them for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in a dry skillet.
Assembly
- Place a generous portion of the chicken and avocado mixture onto each warmed tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.

- For a beautiful presentation, slice the burritos in half diagonally. Serve warm with optional sides of sour cream and salsa for dipping.
Notes
You can customize your filling by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or corn. For extra flavor, include jalapeños or hot sauce. Make it ahead by preparing the chicken and vegetable mixture a day in advance. Use corn tortillas or lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.
