Hearty and flavorful chicken and avocado ranch burritos featuring seasoned shredded chicken, creamy avocado, ranch dressing, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese, wrapped in warm flour tortillas for a quick and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 burritos

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wrap

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the cooked shredded chicken with the taco seasoning until evenly coated, infusing the chicken with a zesty flavor.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing down the center of each one to add creaminess and flavor.
  4. Add Fillings: Layer the seasoned chicken, diced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ranch dressing on each tortilla.
  5. Fold and Roll: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to secure the filling inside, forming a neat burrito.
  6. Optional Toasting: For a crispy exterior, place the burritos seam-side down on a preheated skillet over medium heat and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  7. Serve: Serve the burritos immediately for best taste and freshness.

Notes

  • Add cooked rice or black beans to the filling for a more filling and hearty burrito.
  • Best served fresh to prevent the avocado from browning and maintain the freshness of the ingredients.
  • You can warm the tortillas in the oven wrapped in foil if preferred.
  • Customize toppings like adding sour cream or hot sauce according to your taste.
