Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Burritos

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

To Serve (Optional)

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa

Instructions

  1. Make the Filling: Combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix gently to blend all ingredients without mashing the avocado.
  2. Build the Burritos: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Start by spreading a layer of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Then spoon the chicken and avocado filling evenly onto each and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  3. Roll: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling securely, creating a burrito shape that holds together well while eating.
  4. Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortilla is golden brown and slightly crisp.
  5. Serve: Slice each burrito in half if desired and serve warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing and make rolling easier.
  • Use fresh lime juice to enhance the bright, tangy flavor of the filling.
  • Do not overfill burritos to avoid spilling during rolling and eating.
  • Burritos can be pre-assembled and toasted just before serving for convenience.
  • Store leftovers wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze tightly for up to 1 month.
  • Reheat burritos in a skillet to maintain a crisp exterior or microwave for a quick meal.
