Steps

1. 1

   Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, and red chili powder, coating the pieces evenly.

2. 2

   Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.

3. 3

   In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, paprika powder, and red chili sauce. Mix well to make the sauce.

   In a separate bowl, combine the diced red onion, diced tomato, diced jalapeños, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the salsa.

   Place one large tortilla on a work surface and spread it with guacamole.

6. 6

   Add a portion of the cooked chicken, French fries, diced lettuce, and shredded cheese to the tortilla.

7. 7

   Add a spoonful of the salsa and a spoonful of the sauce. Repeat the filling process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients, then fold each tortilla into a burrito.

8. 8

   Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of oil.

9. 9

   Place a burrito in the skillet seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

    Flip the burrito and cook the other side for an additional 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining burritos.
