A quick and easy recipe combining creamy ranch, ripe avocado, and tender chicken wrapped in warm tortillas for a flavorful and comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced jalapeños
  • Optional: 1/2 cup black beans
  • Optional: sour cream

Instructions

  1. If you don’t have cooked chicken ready, poach two boneless, skinless chicken breasts in simmering water for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Let cool slightly, then shred using two forks.
  2. In a large bowl, scoop out the flesh of 2 ripe avocados. Mash them gently with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Add 1/2 cup ranch dressing and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice to the mashed avocado. Stir to combine into a creamy, tangy sauce.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the avocado ranch mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 20 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
  6. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon about 1 cup of the creamy chicken mixture down the center. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Add any optional add-ins like jalapeños or black beans.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.
  8. Optional: Place the burrito seam side down on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden and the cheese inside melts.
  9. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

Do not overfill tortillas to avoid tearing. Use lime juice to balance creaminess. For gluten-free, use corn or gluten-free tortillas. For dairy-free, use vegan ranch and cheese alternatives. Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut. Toast burritos seam side down for a golden crust.
