These Chicken Avocado Burritos are incredibly easy to make<\/strong>. They’re great to customize<\/strong>, perfect to prep ahead<\/strong> and loaded with flavour<\/strong>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Chicken and avocado is one of those glorious combos that works well in so many different contexts. Today’s concoction – the mighty burrito. Is this the kind of ‘burrito’ that would make purists cry? Absolutely Anywho, before we tuck into the who, what, when, why and how, if I haven’t convinced you yet here’s why you’re gonna LOVE these burritos:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Where there’s burrito there’s rice, and this chicken avocado version is no exception. An incredibly easy way to spruce up regular rice is to add cilantro\/coriander and lime juice. Both of these not only go perfectly with rice<\/strong>, but they also go<\/strong> perfectly with chicken and avocado<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yup! This is one of the fillings you can prep ahead of time. Just allow to cool (if you’ve recently cooked the rice) then tightly cover in the fridge until needed<\/strong>. I recommend bringing it to room temp<\/strong> before adding in the burrito, just to ensure it heats through properly when you fry the burritos.<\/p>\n Process shots: add cooked rice to mixing bowl (photo 1), add coriander\/cilantro and lime juice (photo 2), combine then test for seasoning\/preference and adjust accordingly (photo 3).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to making the chicken, I like to keep it fairly simple. I use chicken breast<\/strong>, but you could totally use thighs. Seasoning-wise I coat in a simple mix of garlic powder<\/strong>, onion powder<\/strong>, salt<\/strong> and pepper<\/strong>. Nothing too OTT, but allows the chicken to hold it’s own in the burrito. From there I recommend frying over a fairy high heat<\/strong>, just to add a bit of char and inject some smoky flavour<\/strong> into the chicken.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make the chicken ahead of time. Just allow to completely cool and cover in the fridge. Same as the rice, allow it to come back to room temp before filling the burrito.<\/p>\n If you’ve already got leftover chicken you need to use up, you can absolutely use that in these burritos.<\/p>\n Process shots: butterfly chicken (photo 1), coat in seasoning and oil (photo 2), place in hot griddle pan (photo 3), fry both sides (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Alrighty, that’s all the hard work done! Alongside the chicken and rice, you’ll want to stuff in some ranch<\/strong>, avocado<\/strong> and cheese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I usually go for Monterey Jack<\/strong>, but Cheddar<\/strong> also works nicely. You could also use Mexican Cheese Blend<\/strong>!<\/p>\n A nifty trick as you wrap the burrito, is to sprinkle a little cheese just before you finish the roll – this will help glue the burrito shut as it cooks!<\/p>\n Yep – you can roll the burritos and tightly cover in the fridge until ready to cook.<\/p>\n You can bake them, I’m just not a fan of piping hot avocado or ranch. As such, I just like to lightly toast on a smoking hot griddle pan until golden and hollow to tap.<\/p>\n Process shots: roll burrito and secure with cheese (photo 1), leave seam side down (photo 2), add to hot griddle pan (photo 3), slowly rotate until golden with grill marks (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I like to wrap in aluminium foil<\/strong> if they’re too hot to handle. I also like to serve with a pot of extra ranch<\/strong>. Because, well, ranch.<\/p>\n These are pretty hearty by themselves, but Sweet Potato Fries<\/a>, Potato Wedges<\/a> and Tortilla Chips<\/a> all go amazingly!<\/p>\n If you’re after another chicken avocado recipe check out my Avocado Chicken Roll Ups<\/a> and Chicken Avocado Pasta<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n For more funky burrito recipes check out my Mini Burrito Tortilla Cups<\/a>, Cheeseburger Burritos<\/a>, Chicken Pesto Burritos<\/a> and Breakfast Burritos<\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for these chicken avocado burritos shall we?!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
