Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Season the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and cook the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Make sure they’re well-browned on each side.
  3. Rest and Slice: Remove from the skillet, allowing the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin, bite-sized strips. Set aside for assembly.

Step 2: Make the Ranch Sauce

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, buttermilk, ranch seasoning, and fresh dill if using. Adjust the thickness by adding more buttermilk or milk to reach your desired consistency.
  2. Taste and Adjust: Check for seasoning, adding a pinch of salt or extra ranch seasoning as needed. Set aside in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble.

Step 3: Prepare the Other Burrito Ingredients

  1. Slice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips.
  2. Shred Cheese: If not pre-shredded, grate your cheese of choice and set aside.
  3. Chop the Veggies: Dice tomatoes, chop lettuce, and slice green onions for a fresh crunch.
