Scale
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (grilled or rotisserie works great)
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (or pico de gallo)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup black beans (rinsed and drained, optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lime (optional but adds a nice zing)
To Assemble:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Olive oil or butter, for grilling
Instructions
1. Make the Filling
In a large bowl, mix:
- Cooked chicken
- Diced avocado
- Cheese
- Ranch dressing
- Tomatoes
- Cilantro (if using)
- Black beans (if using)
- Lime juice, salt, and pepper
Gently toss until everything is well combined, but the avocado still holds some texture.
2. Assemble the Burritos
- Warm tortillas slightly (10–15 seconds in the microwave) to make them easier to fold.
- Spoon the chicken avocado mixture evenly into the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito.
3. Grill (Optional but Recommended!)
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil or butter.
- Place burritos seam-side down and grill 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
4. Serve
- Slice in half and serve warm with extra ranch, salsa, or sour cream on the side.
Notes
- Add shredded lettuce or sliced jalapeños for crunch or spice.
- Swap ranch with chipotle mayo for a smoky kick.
- Meal prepping? Wrap ungrilled burritos in foil and store in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat and grill when ready!
