These burritos with chicken and avocado are gluten- and paleo-free since they are made using cassava flour tortillas. A burrito that's simple, nutritious, and tasty!
I have learned that cassava flour is an amazing ingredient when it comes to making homemade tortillas. I absolutely love using it for this purpose. In fact, I would say that cassava flour tortillas are the only gluten-free, paleo-friendly tortillas that truly taste like authentic tortillas, with the perfect level of chewiness. Whenever I crave tortillas, I always turn to cassava flour, and that's why they are my go-to option.
Chicken Avocado Burritos
I know that cassava flour tortillas are incredibly versatile, and today I am excited to share with you a recipe for chicken and avocado burritos made with these amazing tortillas. If you have not tried them before, then you are in for a real treat. Trust me; they taste amazing when grilled. The ingredients for these burritos are simple, yet the flavors are out of this world. I started by grilling some chicken breasts, but you could also use shredded or rotisserie chicken.
To make the burritos more flavorful, I added avocados, verde salsa, cilantro, grilled onions, and peppers. For those who enjoy cheese, I used organic Monterrey Jack cheese, and sour cream. But for those who prefer dairy-free, you can easily make some cashew sour cream for a creamy and delicious alternative. What I love about these burritos is that they are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
I like to grill my tortillas, but you could also heat them up in the oven or on a stovetop. The addition of the grilled sweet peppers and onions gives them a fajita-like taste, but since Chipotle serves peppers and onion in their burritos, I think it's safe to call these chicken and avocado burritos. It's incredible how such a simple recipe can be so flavorful and satisfying. Cassava flour tortillas are the perfect choice for these burritos because they hold up well and have a satisfying chewiness that is essential for any good burrito.
I encourage you to give them a try and let me know what you think. I'm confident that you'll love them as much as I do!

My original recipe makes 6-inch tortillas, but for this recipe, I divide the dough into 4 balls, resulting in 8-inch tortillas. Even though these tortillas are still thicker than commercial bought burrito-sized tortillas, which are usually 10-inches, it's not a problem. That's just the nature of making them at home. Homemade is always the best option, after all!
