Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly combined.
Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm them on a skillet over medium heat until they are soft and pliable, to ensure easy rolling without cracking.
Assemble the burritos: Divide the chicken avocado ranch mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas, placing the mixture down the center of each one, spreading it out lengthwise but leaving space on the edges for folding.
Add toppings: Sprinkle shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling in each tortilla to add texture and flavor.
Roll the burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and then roll tightly from one end to the other to secure the contents inside and form neat burritos.
Serve: Present the Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos with sides of sour cream and salsa for dipping or drizzling, enhancing the flavor profile and adding moisture to each bite.

Notes

Use rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken to save preparation time.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the filling.
Make sure the avocado is ripe for creamy texture and better flavor.
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
Chipotle or smoky barbecue ranch dressings can be used for a different flavor twist.
These burritos can be prepared in advance and stored wrapped in foil in the fridge; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
