  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh vegetables (e.g., lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  2. Remove from skillet and let rest briefly before shredding into bite-sized pieces with two forks.
  3. In a bowl, mash the avocados with fresh lime juice until creamy yet chunky. Mix in chopped cilantro if desired.
  4. Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet for flexibility. Layer shredded chicken, black beans, avocado mix, chopped vegetables, and cheese in each tortilla’s center.
  5. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  6. For a crispy finish, toast burritos seam-side down in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side.
