Instructions

Chicken Filling

Heat a saucepan at medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced onion and fry until translucent. Add the minced garlic and fry a couple of more minutes. Add the minced chicken and fry until no pink meat is left.
Combine the water and spices and stir until well combined. Add to the chicken mince and simmer over low heat until the water has dissipated and all the flavour has been absorbed by the minced chicken. Set aside and prepare the Guacamole.

Guacamole

Peel and Pit the Avocados, mash them with the limes and then add the diced onions and tomatoes. Stir in the salt until all is well combined. You can add the peppers now or separately in the wraps

Folding Burritos

Fill the Burrito with all the desired ingredients
Fold three sides, leave the last side open
Fold the last side while applying tension with your palms then place flap side down in a pan and panfry.

Notes

Some people add the bell peppers to the mince and fry it, I love the crunch so I prefer to add them fresh at the end.
