A couple of years ago, I was introduced to something entirely life changing and brilliant in all its glory:

A quesadilla burrito.

It’s borderline genius. I mean, everything you know and love about a burrito with the melted cheese and crispy tortilla of a quesadilla. Genius, right?

These Baked Avocado Chicken Burritos are kind of a play off those quesadilla burritos, as they are baked-in-the-oven-burritos, giving them allllll that melty, cheesy goodness no one can possibly resist. 😉

The perfect weeknight dinner or quick and easy lunch!However, there are three things that make these chicken burritos a cut above the rest:

1. They are packed with avocado. Where are my avocado lovers at?!

2. These are gluten-free, made with Mission Gluten Free Tortillas! My family has been watching their gluten intake as of late, and these tortillas have been a lifesaver!

3. They’re ridiculously simple to make. Quick and easy weeknight dinners, get at me.

The perfect weeknight dinner or quick and easy lunch!Okay, technically, there’s a 4th reason to the greatness of these burritos (I just didn’t want to overwhelm you with a list as long as Santa’s as to why these are my favorite things ever).

Ready for it? You can put whatever you want into these burritos.

Seriously.

You could add veggies, beans, or rice into the burrito filling. You could add salsa or use guacamole instead of plain avocado. You could even sub out the chicken and replace it with beef or pork.

While I’m partial to the simplicity of the flavors in these Baked Avocado Chicken Burritos, the ball’s in your court, and you can change up the filling however you want.

The perfect weeknight dinner or quick and easy lunch!All right, so let’s get down to the details of these burritos, namely, Mission Gluten Free Tortillas.

As mentioned above, my family has been watching their gluten intake recently. As such, we have been on a quest to find some of the best gluten-free options that are available, and what I’ve learned with Mission Gluten Free Tortillas is that you don’t always have to sacrifice flavor or quality when adhering to diet restrictions.

Mission Gluten Free Tortillas taste like regular tortillas and have a very similar texture and softness to them. They are wheat-free, certified gluten-free, as well as kosher. Free from trans-fat and cholesterol, these are perfect for any meal, especially when served warm (or hot and toasty out of the oven!).

The perfect weeknight dinner or quick and easy lunch!When it comes to putting this recipe together, it all starts with heating the tortillas properly, as per the instructions on the package.

While you can microwave them to heat them up, I prefer heating them on the stove in an ungreased skillet (as the directions state). Over medium-high heat, warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds, then flip and heat the other side for 5-10 seconds.

Fill the center of each tortilla with chicken, cheese, avocado, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream (optional). Roll into burrito form (flipping the two end sides in, then folding the other sides on top of each other). Place seam side down onto a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown.

    I love this Michelle! Growing up burritos were a staple at our dinners and we have never baked them before. I can’t wait to try. And I’m also super excited to know they make gluten free tortillas that aren’t corn tortillas. My sister will be so pleased to find this out!!

    Lots of fats in this burrito, but at least the good healthy ones! I’m gonna try it with mayo instead of sour cream. And maybe add some chili sauce, cause I like to add this to every dish and snack 🙂
