Ingredients
For the Burritos:
- 8 large burrito flour or wheat tortillas
- 4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1½ cups diced Roma, slicing, or vine tomatoes
- 1 lb grilled chicken (cubed or shredded)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican/fiesta style or cheddar cheese
- 1 large Hass avocado (diced)
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla chips (optional)
- Avocado ranch dressing (for serving)
- Chipotle ranch dressing (for serving)
Optional Sides:
- Cilantro lime or cantina rice (as needed)
- Mexican style black beans (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Warm each tortilla for a few seconds on each side until they become soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Divide the ingredients among the 8 tortillas. Spoon about ½ cup of shredded lettuce, ⅓ cup of grilled chicken, ¼ cup of shredded cheese, 3 tablespoons of diced tomatoes, and ⅛ of a diced avocado onto the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle a few crunchy tortilla chips on top of the fillings, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon each of chipotle ranch and avocado ranch dressing.
- Roll the Burritos:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings. Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Ensure that the burrito is well-sealed.
- Grill the Burritos:
- Lightly mist a frying pan with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and toasted. You may need to do this in batches.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the burritos from the pan and let them cool for a minute.
- Serve the burritos with a side of cilantro lime rice or cantina rice and Mexican style black beans for a complete meal.
- Drizzle extra avocado or chipotle ranch dressing on top if desired.
