Ingredients
– 8 large flour or wheat tortillas
– 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
– 1 1/4 cups diced tomatoes
– 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
– 16 oz shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
– 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips or crushed tri-colored/corn chips
– 1/2 cup ranch dressing
– 1/2 cup creamy chipotle sauce
Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare Ingredients
Shred the cheese, chop the lettuce, dice tomatoes, and cube the grilled chicken if not pre-cut. Dice the avocado if using. Warm the flour or wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet over medium-low heat to increase pliability for folding.
2-Second Step: Assemble Burritos
Lay each tortilla flat and layer approximately 1/2 cup shredded cheese followed by 1/2 cup grilled chicken strips. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of creamy chipotle sauce and 1 tablespoon ranch dressing evenly over the chicken. Add 1/2 cup chopped lettuce and 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes. Include roughly 1/8 of the diced avocado per burrito if using, and sprinkle with 1/3 cup crunchy tortilla strips for texture.
3-Third Step: Roll Burritos
Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. For a better seal, sprinkle some shredded cheese along the edges before rolling. This helps prevent filling spills during toasting.
4-Fourth Step: Toast Burritos
Heat a lightly oiled or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Toast each burrito on all sides until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. This gives a warm, crispy exterior that holds fillings well.
5-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately with optional sides like cilantro lime rice, black beans, or seasoned fries. Offer extra chipotle or ranch sauce for dipping. For meal prep, burritos can be microwaved briefly to soften tortillas before toasting or wrapped individually for later storage.
