Ingredients
Scale
For the burritos:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for toasting
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to mix without mashing the avocado.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon an even amount of filling into the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly to form burritos.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- Add crumbled bacon or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor.
- These burritos can be wrapped in foil and grilled or packed for lunch.
