Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend recommended)
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay the large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to make assembling the burritos easier.
- Add Filling: Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing onto the center of each tortilla.
- Roll Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling then roll tightly from one end to enclose the ingredients fully.
- Optional Toasting: Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crispy, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Slice and Serve: Allow the burritos to cool slightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides or salsa.
Notes
- Add diced tomatoes or crispy bacon bits for extra flavor and texture.
- Using grilled chicken adds a smoky, richer taste to the burritos.
- To make it lighter, substitute ranch dressing with a low-fat or Greek yogurt-based version.
- These burritos can be stored wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
