Description
Whip up irresistible Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos! Simple prep blends zesty lime-kissed avocado with savory ranch chicken and melty cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4–6 large flour tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the chicken and avocado. If not already cooked, cook and shred the chicken breast. In a small bowl, gently combine the diced avocado with the fresh lime juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste.
- Step 2: Combine chicken mixture. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the ranch dressing until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Step 3: Warm tortillas. Warm the large flour tortillas according to package directions (e.g., microwave for 15-20 seconds each, or heat briefly in a dry pan) to make them pliable and easy to roll.
- Step 4: Assemble burritos. Lay out a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the ranch chicken mixture down the center. Top with a spoonful of the diced avocado, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a small amount of shredded lettuce.
- Step 5: Roll and serve. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
Notes
- To keep your burritos fresh for longer, store leftover ranch chicken and cheese mixture separately from the avocado and lettuce, assembling just before eating to prevent sogginess and browning.
- For a warm and satisfying bite, gently microwave assembled burritos for 30-60 seconds, but for the best texture, remove the lettuce and avocado before reheating, then add them fresh.
- These burritos are fantastic as is, but a side of crunchy tortilla chips for scooping up any delicious bits, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce, will elevate the experience.
- To speed up prep time without sacrificing flavor, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken; it shreds beautifully and makes this quick meal even easier to assemble.
