Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole whole-wheat flour tortillas large
  • 1 cup chicken breast boneless, skinless, cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 avocado peeled, pit removed, sliced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese fat-free, shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro fresh, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Lay the 4 large whole-wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  • Evenly divide the shredded chicken down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch free on both long edges.
  • Top the chicken with sliced avocado and sprinkle the shredded cheddar over each tortilla.
  • Scatter the chopped cilantro over the cheese, then season each with ground cumin and kosher salt.
  • Fold the short sides in, then roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape so the filling is enclosed.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook about 5 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown; flip and cook another 5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the skillet, cut each burrito in half, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use cooked shredded rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Slice the avocado just before assembling to prevent browning.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
