Description
A creamy and savory burrito filled with seasoned chicken, avocado, and cheeses, all wrapped in a soft tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Season and warm the chicken: If your chicken is not already seasoned, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken along with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently and cook for 3–4 minutes until warmed through and fragrant. The spices should lightly coat every piece, giving the chicken a warm, savory aroma.
- Prepare the creamy filling: In a large bowl, combine the seasoned chicken with ranch dressing. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated. Fold in the diced avocado carefully to keep the pieces intact. The creamy ranch blends beautifully with the buttery avocado, creating that signature flavor that makes Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos so irresistible.
- Add freshness and texture: Mix in shredded cheddar, mozzarella, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. The cheese adds richness, while the tomatoes and cilantro bring brightness and freshness.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of filling into the center. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Toast for extra flavor (optional but recommended): Place the burritos seam-side down in a warm skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden and slightly crisp. This step enhances the texture and seals the burritos perfectly.
Notes
- Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, savory bite.
