Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Boneless Chicken Thighs: These thighs stay juicy and tender during cooking; you’ll want about 1 pound for optimal flavor.
Avocados: Ripe avocados add creaminess; look for ones that yield slightly when pressed.
Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a refreshing burst of flavor; don’t skip it if you love vibrant tastes.
Red Onion: Thinly sliced red onion brings a mild sweetness; use fresh ones for the best crunch.
Bell Peppers: Choose vibrant colors like red or yellow for added sweetness and visual appeal.
Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best for wrapping; choose large ones to hold all your delicious fillings.

For the Sauce:

Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice brightens everything up; squeeze some right before serving for maximum zing!
Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt: Opt for one to provide creaminess; both add tangy goodness to your burrito.
Hot Sauce: Use your favorite hot sauce to kick things up a notch; adjust according to your spice tolerance.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare the Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken thighs in olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes. This allows flavors to penetrate the meat deeply.

Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken thighs until golden brown and cooked through—about 6-8 minutes per side should do it! Slice them into strips once cooked.

Assemble Your Burrito

Lay out your flour tortilla on a flat surface and layer on sliced chicken, diced avocados, chopped cilantro, bell peppers, and onions. Don’t be shy—load it up!

Add Sauce and Wrap

Drizzle your preferred hot sauce and sour cream over the filling before folding in the sides of the tortilla tightly like a burrito expert would do!

Serve with Style

Cut each burrito in half diagonally and plate them up with extra hot sauce nearby for those who dare! Enjoy these delightful wraps while still warm.

Final Touches

Sprinkle some extra cilantro on top as garnish if you’re feeling fancy—because who doesn’t love making their food Instagram-worthy?

And there you have it! A cheerful plate of Chiken Avocado Banch Burritos ready to steal the spotlight at dinner time or any gathering you throw together!
