Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until the ingredients are well combined and coated in the ranch dressing.
Tortilla Preparation
- Heat the flour tortillas in a pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or warm them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until they are soft and pliable.
Assembly
- Lay out a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and avocado filling onto each tortilla, leaving some space at the edges. Top with a handful of shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Finishing Touch
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Make sure to tuck and roll as you go to keep the filling secure.
Serving
- Once rolled, slice the burrito in half diagonally. Serve your Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos with optional sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
Notes
Make ahead by preparing the filling a day in advance; add jalapeños for heat; use grilled chicken for added flavor; wrap tightly to prevent spilling.
