Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 cups grilled or shredded chicken
Avocado
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Tortillas
- 4 flour or corn tortillas
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Lettuce
- 1 cup chopped fresh lettuce
Tomatoes
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
Green Onions
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cooking your chicken thoroughly. You can grill, bake, or sauté it until it’s fully cooked and tender. Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces once it’s ready.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken with diced avocado, ranch dressing, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and green onions. Gently mix everything until well coated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a plate, spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling into the center, and fold the sides over the filling before rolling it up tightly from the bottom.
- Serve: Cut the burrito in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a meal on the go. Enjoy your flavorful creation!
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid overfilling your burritos to prevent them from bursting while rolling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh avocados and crisp veggies make a significant difference in taste and texture.
- Customize the Dressing: If you’re not a fan of ranch, try using a different dressing or sauce to suit your taste.
- Let It Cool: Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
- Experiment with Herbs: Add fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
