Instructions
-
Lay out tortillas and spread a spoonful of ranch dressing in the center of each.
-
Layer on shredded chicken, avocado, lettuce, and cheese.
-
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add optional toppings as desired.
-
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
-
To serve cold: Wrap in foil or parchment and refrigerate.
-
To serve warm: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grill burritos for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
Notes
- Swap ranch with chipotle mayo or Caesar dressing for a flavor twist.
- Turn it into a burrito bowl by serving ingredients over rice or greens.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas and check the dressing label.
- Burritos with fresh avocado and lettuce aren’t freezer-friendly, but the chicken-cheese-ranch combo alone freezes well.
