Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 4 large tortillas
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Dice the avocado and place it in a bowl, squeezing a little lime juice over it to prevent browning. If you haven’t cooked the corn yet, do so by boiling or grilling until tender, then drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, prepare the feta sauce by combining the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the sauce is creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, and cooked corn. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas one at a time in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
- To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken, avocado, and corn mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Drizzle some of the feta sauce over the filling.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it from the bottom up to enclose the filling, forming a burrito. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all burritos are assembled, you can serve them immediately or return them to the skillet. If you choose to heat them again, place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Serve the burritos warm, with extra feta sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Avocado and Corn Burritos!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Shred your chicken and chop ingredients in advance to make assembly a breeze.
- Prevent Avocado Browning: Always add a splash of lime juice to your diced avocado to keep it fresh and green.
- Warm Tortillas Technique: Briefly heating tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents cracking when rolling.
- Sauce Consistency: If your feta sauce is too thick, thin it with a little extra lime juice or yogurt.
- Crispy Option: For a restaurant-style finish, lightly pan-fry your assembled burritos for a golden, crispy exterior.
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to add extra toppings like cilantro, hot sauce, or diced jalapeños for personalized flavor.
