• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Let’s make it

1. 01

   Pat chicken dry

   Pat chicken dry. Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium-high.

2. 02

   Build the flavor

   Cook chicken 7–9 minutes, turning, until the thickest strip reaches 165°F. Transfer to a clean plate.

3. 03

   Cook it through

   Brush tortillas with remaining oil and toast in the skillet 30–45 seconds per side.

4. 04

   Bring it together

   Fill the warm tortillas with chicken and sliced avocado; fold and serve immediately.

5. 05

   Finish and serve

   Taste and finish with the measured salt and black pepper; use less salt if a prepared sauce is already salty.

Make It Even Better

Cut the chicken across the grain for tender strips.

Make it your own

Use cooked chicken warmed to 165°F instead of raw breast; reduce skillet time.

What to serve with it

Assemble just before eating to protect the toasted edges. Serve any cool vegetables on top at the last moment; avoid stacking hot portions where trapped steam softens them.

Storage & reheating

Refrigerate in a shallow covered container within 2 hours and use within 3 days. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F throughout; keep any raw salad garnish separate.
