Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded chicken (grilled, roasted, or rotisserie)
- 2 large eggs, scrambled
- 2 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or cotija)
- ¼ cup salsa (red or green)
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup bell peppers, chopped
- ¼ cup onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Hot sauce, to taste (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
- If using raw chicken, season it with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken breast for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
- Let it rest, then shred with a fork. (Skip this step if using rotisserie chicken!)
Step 2: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
- In a clean pan, heat a little butter or oil.
- Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, whisk, and pour into the pan.
- Stir gently over low heat until eggs are soft and fluffy.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat a dry pan over medium heat.
- Place each tortilla in the pan for 10-15 seconds per side to make them flexible.
Step 4: Assemble the Burrito
- Lay the tortilla flat on a plate.
- Add shredded chicken, then spoon over the scrambled eggs.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese (let it melt slightly).
- Add salsa, avocado slices, and optional veggies.
Step 5: Wrap & Serve
- Fold in the sides first.
- Roll tightly from the bottom up to keep everything tucked in.
- Slice in half and serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.
