Today we are making this burrito with minced chicken and avocado dressing. During my trip through Mexico, I had a burrito almost every day. Especially on days when we really needed a nutritious lunch or nutritious dinner, we went for a well-filled burrito. The trick to making it extra tasty is to toast it briefly in a piping hot pan. That way it gets nice and crispy and you can enjoy this healthy burrito even more. The burrito I made was filled with yellow rice, minced chicken, carrot, cucumber, bell bell pepper, lettuce and cheese. I topped it off with a delicious avocado dressing. You'll want to try that one! Do you prefer a bowl instead of a burrito? Then check out this burrito bowl!
