Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos
- 8 large burrito flour or wheat tortillas
- 4 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups Roma, slicing, or vine tomatoes, diced
- 1 lb grilled chicken, cubed or shredded
- 2 cups Mexican/fiesta style or cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large Hass avocado, diced
For Serving (Optional)
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla chips
- Avocado ranch dressing
- Chipotle ranch dressing
- Side of cilantro lime or cantina rice
- Side Mexican style black beans
Instructions
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas for a few seconds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat to make them soft and easier to fold without cracking.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the burrito ingredients evenly among the 8 tortillas. Place about ½ cup shredded lettuce, ⅓ cup grilled chicken, ¼ cup shredded cheese, 3 tablespoons diced tomatoes, and ⅛ of a diced avocado in the center of each tortilla. Add a few crunchy tortilla chips and 1 tablespoon each of chipotle ranch and avocado ranch dressing on top.
- Fold the Burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure all fillings inside a neat burrito shape.
- Toast the Burritos: Lightly spray a frying pan with cooking spray and warm it over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan (cook in batches if necessary) and cook each side for a few minutes until golden brown and toasted.
- Serve: Remove the burritos from the pan and serve hot. They can be enjoyed alone or with sides like cilantro lime rice, cantina rice, or Mexican style black beans. Optionally drizzle additional avocado or chipotle ranch dressing on top.
Notes
- Warming the tortillas first helps prevent them from tearing during folding.
- Using a non-stick pan and cooking spray ensures the burritos toast evenly without sticking.
- You can substitute grilled chicken with shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Chipotle and avocado ranch dressings add unique smoky and creamy flavors—adjust amounts to taste.
- Serve with crunchy tortilla chips for added texture inside the burrito or as a side.
