Easily customizable, these chicken avocado burritos are perfect for “taco” night. You can use a rotisserie chicken or any precooked chicken, cheese, cilantro, sour cream, and avocado to make these quick & DELICIOUS chicken avocado burritos! Printable recipe below.
In our house, I could eat tacos or fajitas (like this Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe), every single day. However, I started adding these burritos into the mix because they’re so darn easy. When I get a rotisserie chicken from Costco I feel like this recipe is a no-brainer for dinner.
You can also pre-cook chicken in a slow cooker or buy cooked fajita chicken for these burritos. It makes this one of the fastest (tastiest) dinners on the planet!
You can also use this same ingredient list to make chicken taquitos instead of burritos.
PRO TIP: Every time I am working with raw chicken, I honestly get grossed out. We all know how sick it can make someone to be exposed to what it leaves behind. I love these Kitchen Gizmos– its a cutting board that takes away the worry!
Standard cutting boards get scratches which become a breeding ground for bacteria. This cutting board is extremely scratch-resistant, preventing any bacteria from building up, has two sides, and a juice catcher so your defrosted chicken doesn’t leak to the counter.
*You can get rid of a whopping 54% of bacteria just by washing it with cold water.
*To sterilize up to 99.6% just pour boiling water over the board.
*Big working surface 15″x11.75″
*Heat-resistant of up to 300° Fahrenheit
*FDA Approved, BPA-free, Dishwasher Safe

How To Make Chicken Avocado Burritos
Prep by pre-cooking and shredding chicken. If you’ve purchased cold chicken, reheat it by pan-frying it in a little olive oil to give it some freshness and crispiness.
Then heat up your oil in your pan on about medium heat. You don’t want the oil to smoke or burn.
Add your shredded chicken, cheese, cilantro, and avocado in a bowl and mix.
Lay out each flour tortilla and fill with mix just down the center. Roll up both sides and fold.
Now place your tortillas in your hot oil and cook approximately 1-2 minutes each side.
You should not get any stick resistance on the flip.
Be careful not to overheat oil or they will burn.
Top with salsa, extra cheese or extra sour cream and serve.
