Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas to make them soft and flexible, either by microwaving them for about 15-20 seconds or warming in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side.
- Assemble the Burritos: Evenly divide the chicken avocado ranch mixture among the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each wrap to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Add Toppings: Top the mixture on each tortilla with shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese to add freshness and richness.
- Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from one end to enclose the contents securely, forming a neat burrito.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the burritos and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side, either as a dip or drizzled on top, to complement the flavors and add extra creaminess and zest.
Notes
- For extra protein, use rotisserie chicken or freshly grilled chicken breast shredded finely.
- Customize the burritos with additional vegetables like bell peppers or corn for added texture.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make the recipe gluten free if needed.
- The burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- For a spicier kick, add some jalapeño slices or hot sauce inside the burrito.
