Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a mixing bowl.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    To the bowl with shredded chicken, add black beans, corn, diced avocado, chopped red onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Assemble the Burritos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous amount of the chicken and avocado filling in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 6

    Fold the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Serve

  1. 7

    Add Toppings

    Serve the burritos warm, optionally with sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños on the side for dipping or drizzling.
