• Salt

• Pepper

Directions

1. I warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.

2. In a large bowl, I combine the chicken, avocado, lettuce, cheese, and ranch dressing.

3. I season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

4. I spoon the filling into the center of each tortilla.

5. I fold in the sides, then roll up tightly to form burritos.

6. I serve them immediately, or wrap them in foil for an on-the-go meal.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 burritos. It usually takes me 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Variations

I sometimes add crispy bacon for extra flavor, or swap lettuce for spinach. For a spicier version, I mix a little hot sauce into the ranch or add sliced jalapeños. If I want more protein, I use grilled chicken thighs instead of breast.

storage/reheating

I store leftover burritos wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. I don’t recommend freezing because avocado can change texture.

FAQs

Yes, it’s a great time-saver and works perfectly in this recipe.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, but I add the avocado just before eating to keep it fresh.

What kind of tortillas work best?

I like using large, soft flour tortillas so they hold the filling well.

Can I add more vegetables?

Absolutely, I sometimes include tomatoes, bell peppers, or cucumbers.

Can I use a different dressing?

Yes, Caesar, chipotle mayo, or avocado dressing all taste great as alternatives.
