Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce or adobo sauce
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- Olive oil, as needed for grilling
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, and chipotle sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Assemble the Burritos
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface.
- Add a portion of the chicken mixture to the center of the tortilla.
- Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and avocado slices (if using).
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
3. Grill the Burritos
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan.
- Grill for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat and let them rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing in half.
Notes
- Tortilla Tip: Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent tearing.
- Adjusting Spice Levels: Add more chipotle sauce or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
- Storage: Wrap leftover burritos tightly in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
