Ingredients

10 cherry tomatoes, diced
2 ripe avocados
2 pickled jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon of salt
4 wheat tortillas
2 skinless chicken breasts (approx. 450 g)
8 slices of smoked bacon
4 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1
Prepare the guacamole: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl. Mash the flesh with a fork until a coarse consistency is achieved.
2
Add the finely chopped jalapeño peppers and garlic, diced cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced green onion to the bowl. Add the olive oil (6 tablespoons), lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
4
Fry the bacon slices in a dry pan until golden and crispy, then remove them to a plate. Prepare the other 2 avocados: cut them in half, remove the pits, peel them, and slice them.
5
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over high heat and brown the chicken for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a baking tray and bake for 12 minutes.
6
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes, then cut it into thicker slices.
7
Briefly heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side.
8
Assemble the burrito: On one half of a tortilla, place a portion of guacamole, then chicken slices, avocado slices, crispy bacon, and fresh cilantro. Add a little more guacamole on top and roll tightly. Repeat the process for all 4 tortillas.
9
Optionally, you can brown the assembled burrito in a pan for 30 seconds on each side for extra crispiness. Enjoy!
