Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 120 grams shredded cheddar cheese
  • 60 milliliters Ranch dressing
  • 15 grams chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Tortillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: Combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, Ranch dressing, chopped fresh cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together to evenly coat everything without mashing the avocado.
  2. Heat Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side or microwave them covered with a damp paper towel for 20–30 seconds until they are pliable and easy to roll.
  3. Fill and Roll: Evenly distribute the prepared filling along the center of each warm tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
  4. Grill Burritos (Optional): For a crispy exterior, place the burritos seam-side down in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crisp, flipping as necessary to avoid burning.
  5. Serve: Slice the burritos in half if desired and serve warm. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
  • If you prefer, substitute Ranch dressing with a cilantro-lime dressing for a fresh twist.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary preferences.
  • Leftover burritos can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Grilling the burritos is optional but recommended for added texture and warmth.
