We have had some really HOT dry weather here in North Idaho. The rain we had last week was a sweet relief! The forest fires have been raging and the smoke has been thick in the air. The last days of summer have been spent indoors in AC trying to stay cool and out of the smoke somewhat.
Today was a beautiful sunny day with cooler temperatures and blue sky that we could see!! That rain just washed the sky! It feels like fall is coming early.
With the beginning of fall comes school. The return of early mornings and routines, homework, sports practices and earlier bedtimes. Even if you aren’t in school or don’t have kids in school, it seems to be the perfect time to reorganize, plan, set goals, and make new routines. Maybe its the copious amount of school supplies that you can’t avoid at Target and Walmart?
Is anyone else obsessed with school supplies? I am literally giddy walking through those isles this time of year! All that fresh paper and index cards and folders and notepads!! It feels like so much yet to be written. So much hope and plans for things that haven’t happened yet. A brand new start. Fresh beginnings. Ok, maybe that is just me?!
It is truly the perfect time to create new habits, and routines though. You have the tools on sale all around you and the mindset is just there! So take advantage of those magnetic whiteboards for your kids’ chore list. Buy a new planner for next year. Start a new habit using post-it notes to remind yourself. Organize your housekeeping with index cards.

Here is my take on this recipe! Super easy, few ingredients and oooohhh soooo good!!
Chicken Avocado Burritos
12Yield:
12Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Total Time:
Ingredients:
| 1 | rotisserie chicken shredded |
| 3 tablespoons | mustard |
| 1 teaspoon | hot pepper sauce plus more for serving |
| salt to taste | |
| pepper to taste | |
| 2 cup | shredded mozzarella cheese or Mexican blend cheese |
| 2 | avocados diced |
| 1/2 cup | chopped cilantro divided |
| 12 | burrito sized flour tortillas |
| 3/4 cup | sour cream plus more for serving |
| salsa | |
| safflower oil or peanut oil for frying |
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl mix shredded chicken with mustard and hot sauce. Stir to evenly distribute. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix in cheese, cilantro, and diced avocado.
Warm the tortillas in damp paper towels in the microwave to make them pliable.
Spread 1 tablespoon sour cream on each tortilla, add 1/4 of the chicken mixture, form a roll with ends tucked in. Secure with toothpick.
Heat oil in deep fryer to 375* (You can pan fry, I just prefer to deep fry. Less messy.) Fry one at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a rack over a paper towel.
Serve on a bed of lettuce with sour cream, salsa, hot sauce and cilantro for garnish.
You can freeze uncooked burritos. Wrap individually in parchment and put in a freezer bag. Thaw before frying.
