Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fillings
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Others
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for toasting)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing and seasonings.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the cooked white rice among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each tortilla. Next, add the ranch chicken mixture on top of the rice, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
- Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form a burrito, ensuring the fillings are secure inside.
- Toast Burritos: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve: Remove the burritos from the skillet. Slice in half if desired and serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add cooked bacon crumbles or a drizzle of hot sauce before rolling the burrito.
- Substitute brown rice or cilantro lime rice for white rice for a different taste and added nutrition.
- Use whole wheat tortillas and light ranch dressing to make the burrito lighter and healthier.
