  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (Try whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Avocado Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the ranch dressing coats the chicken and avocado evenly. This step creates the deliciously creamy filling for your burritos.

Step 2: Warm the Tortillas

Warm the flour tortillas either in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or on a skillet for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable. If you’re looking for extra flavor, toast them lightly for a crispy burrito.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

Spread the chicken-avocado mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Then, add a generous amount of shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken mixture. This will give the burritos a satisfying crunch and creamy cheese melt.

Step 4: Roll and Fold

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly to form a secure burrito. Be sure to fold the edges tightly to keep the filling from spilling out.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping or drizzling. You can also add a squeeze of lime on top for an extra burst of citrus flavor!

Equipment

Notes

  • For extra creaminess: If you want an even creamier texture, add a dollop of guacamole inside your burrito for a richer taste.
  • For a spicier version: Add some jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the filling for an extra kick.
  • For a healthier option: Use whole wheat tortillas, swap the ranch dressing with a low-fat version, or try using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
