Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper for about 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked.
  2. Let them rest for a few minutes before shredding the chicken.
Make the Filling
  1. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, and any additional seasonings to taste.
  2. Toss in the sliced or mashed avocado gently to prevent browning.
Assemble Burritos
  1. Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until they’re warm and pliable.
  2. Lay out a tortilla and add a generous portion of the chicken and avocado mixture.
  3. Top it with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
Crisp the Burritos
  1. Return the assembled burritos to the skillet, seam side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
  1. Cut in half, garnish with extra toppings, and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze unassembled burritos wrapped in plastic wrap for about a month.
