Ingredients

  • Gluten-free tortillas
  • Shredded chicken (I buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco and shred it)
  • Dairy-free cheese (Miyoko's is our family favorite)
  • Avocado oil
  • Guacamole
  • Cilantro
  • Lime juice
  • Lime zest, lime wedges (optional for garnish)

Directions

1. Warm up tortillas in microwave to keep them from falling apart.

2. Add chicken and cheese, then roll up and hold together with two toothpicks.

3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tortillas to the pan, seam side down. Turn until each side is golden brown. 

4. Place on a plate and remove toothpicks. Top with guacamole, cilantro, and lime juice. Enjoy!

Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes.
