Ingredients
- 1 piece Chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 piece Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce leaves, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken strips for about 6-8 minutes, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Set aside.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Bake the cheese circle in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until it is melted and starts to crisp around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool slightly to form the 'burrito shell'.
Step 8
Once the cheese has cooled enough to handle, carefully transfer it to a plate.
Step 9
On the cheese shell, layer cooked chicken, avocado slices, shredded romaine lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 10
Top with chopped cilantro for freshness.
Step 11
Carefully fold the cheese shell over the filling to create a burrito shape.
Step 12
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for zestiness.
