This southwestern chicken and burrata avocado toast is anything but basic! I’m all for taking standard recipes up a notch, and this one is a truly delicious spin on your classic avocado toast. Adding chicken, cheese, and burrata makes this avocado toast much heartier, more filling, and more flavorful! You can use pre-cooked, southwestern-seasoned chicken (like I did) or make your own, and be sure to use a hearty bread like ciabatta or sourdough for maximum support – we’ve got a lot of toppings going on, here!
