    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!)

    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!
