These flavorful burritos are packed with seasoned chicken, fresh avocado, crisp lettuce, cheddar cheese, and a creamy ranch dressing. Perfect for a quick dinner or meal prep, offering a satisfying blend of American and Mexican flavors.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Other Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts to ensure a well-flavored base.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
  3. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips to make them easier to assemble into burritos.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave them briefly until they become pliable and easy to fold.
  5. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, and chopped red onion. Drizzle ranch dressing over the fillings for added creaminess and flavor.
  6. Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a compact burrito that holds all the ingredients securely.
  7. Serve: Repeat the assembly process for all tortillas. Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top to add a fresh citrusy kick.

Notes

  • To make it spicier, add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce or substitute cheddar cheese with pepper jack cheese.
  • These burritos can be made ahead of time and wrapped tightly for convenient meal prep and quick reheating.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
