Preparation Steps
- Cut the chicken thighs into one inch sized pieces.
- Add about 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper.
Or do what I always do for dishes that call for salt and pepper.
I use Masterfoods Garlic Pepper.
Give it a good sprinkle, about 1 tablespoon of it.
Set aside to marinate for a couple of hours.
- Slice the top of the tomatoes off.
- Using a small spoon, scoop out the soft insides of the tomatoes.
This reduces the moisture in the dish and prevents sogginess.
- Chop the tomatoes up into small bits.
- Chop the onions into small bits.
- Place the onions and tomatoes in a large bowl.
- Chop up a bunch of cilantro.
Use as much or as little as you like.
- Add the cilantro to the onions-tomatoes mixture.
Toss together and set aside.
- Cut a slit round an avocado, against its seed.
- Holding each side of the cut avocado, twist the avocado open to reveal the seed.
- Remove the seed and scoop out the flesh.
Place the avocado flesh in a large bowl and mash it up evenly till it becomes creamy.
- Add the tomatoes mixture to the avocados.
- Combine well.
- Squeeze in juice from one lemon.
- Add a generous portion of salt to taste.
About 1 to 2 teaspoons.
- At this point, youll have guacamole.
If you like, dish it up in a serving bowl and serve it with chips.
- Now cook the chicken.
Heat a pan with a few tablespoons of cooking oil till its very hot.
It has to be very hot or the chicken wont brown.
- Add the chicken to the pan.
Be careful! Itll sizzle and splatter.
- Turn the pieces over to brown the other side after a few minutes.
- When the chicken are browned, remove them from the pan and set aside at a warm place.
- Using a clean, dry pan, toast the tortillas one at a time on each side.
- They are ready to be used when they are soft and warm.
- Add a serving of the guacamole mixture.
- Add a serving of the chicken.
- Quickly wrap the burrito up.
If it cools, the tortilla will crack and it would be impossible to roll it up.
- Roll over once.
Fold in the sides, and roll over again till its fully wrapped.
- Serve immediately or wrap in aluminum foil and keep them in the oven till ready to eat.
