Burrito Assembly

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has cooled slightly, shred it using two forks. Mix in the green salsa until fully coated. Set aside.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced ripe tomatoes, chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, and diced jalapeño. Stir until well mixed. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with lime juice, salt, and garlic powder until smooth. Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Burritos

    Lay a flour tortilla flat and add a portion of the shredded chicken, followed by a spoonful of pico de gallo, guacamole, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up to form the burrito.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Repeat the assembly for the remaining tortillas. Serve immediately with extra salsa and lime wedges on the side.
