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.
3Â 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.
Then baked for a short time…just long enough to warm things up and melt the cheese.
About 15-20 minutes.
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!
