Ingredients for Avocado Burritos

  • 2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

How to Make Avocado Burritos

  1. Lay out 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch) on a flat surface.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream lengthwise down the center of each tortilla.

  4. Add your desired toppings: 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled; 1/4 cup chopped tomato; 1-2 tablespoons chopped jalapeño pepper (optional).
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions over the avocado mixture.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and tightly roll from the bottom up.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
