Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined to ensure even flavor distribution.
Warm the tortillas: Heat the large flour tortillas until they become soft and pliable. This can be done on a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side or wrapped in a damp paper towel and microwaved for 15-20 seconds.
Assemble the burritos: Divide the chicken avocado ranch mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each with shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese for crunch and melting flavor.
Roll the burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from one end to the other to form a burrito, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Serve: Place the burritos on plates and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping or topping according to your preference.
