Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 ⁄4 cup cayenne pepper sauce
  • 2 1 ⁄2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • 1 ⁄4 cup diced celery
  • 1 ⁄4 cup grated carrot
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a large skillet with garlic over medium-low heat. Heat until garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add cayenne pepper sauce and bring to a simmer.
  • Add chicken, stir gently, and cook until most of liquid has evaporated and sauce clings to chicken, about 7 minutes.
  • Combine avocado, celery, carrot, and green onion in medium bowl and toss with blue cheese dressing to make an avocado salsa.
  • Assemble burritos by spooning rice onto tortillas. Layer chicken, avocado, and blue cheese crumbles over rice. Roll burritos as desired.
