5-Ingredient Salsa Verde Burritos from 5DollarDinners.com

5 Ingredients.

Yes, that is all.

Here they are, in no particular order…

Large tortillas, preferably burrito-size.

Salsa verde sauce.

Avocado slices.

Shredded cheese…whatever Tex-Mex variety you prefer. I like to use jalapeno jack cheese for a little added “kick.”

Shredded rotisserie chicken.

(Optional 6th ingredient…chopped cilantro. I’m calling this optional because I know there are many people who don’t like cilantro. In fact, it tastes like you’re eating soap. It’s a gene thing. For real. No one in our family has that gene, so I included it in our burritos…but it’s the optional 6th ingredient!)

Salsa Verde Chicken Burritos

See.

3 ingredients (plus the optional 6th) get mixed together in a bowl.

The spread out onto tortillas.

Avocado slices go on top.

Then they get rolled and placed into baking dish.

Salsa Verde Chicken Burritos-3

Then baked for a short time…just long enough to warm things up and melt the cheese.

About 15-20 minutes.

Salsa Verde Chicken Burritos-4

Boom…dinner is ready!

Hope your family loves these quick and easy Salsa Verde Chicken Burritos!

P.S. These would be great served with a sour cream dip or an avocado ranch dressing dip 🙂

    Would these freeze well?? I have a 3 month old and a full time +++ job and a husband who doesn’t like real (aka healthy) food…these seem simple and if I can freeze a bunch and reheat at will, it would totally make my day!
