Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay Out the Tortillas: Place a tortilla on a flat surface or a cutting board.
- Layer the Ingredients: Start by spreading a spoonful of the ranch sauce in the center of the tortilla. Add a handful of sliced chicken, followed by sliced avocado, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
- Add Extra Flavor: If desired, drizzle hot sauce or salsa over the filling for an extra kick of heat.
- Fold the Burrito: To fold the burrito, tuck in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Use a bit of extra ranch sauce along the edge of the tortilla to “seal” the burrito shut if necessary.
Step 5: Toast the Burritos (Optional for Extra Crispiness)
- Heat a Skillet: For an added touch, heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down to toast for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy, then flip to toast the other side.
- Serve Warm: Transfer to a plate and serve immediately, sliced in half if preferred.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos
- Choose Quality Tortillas: Look for tortillas that are soft but sturdy enough to hold the fillings without tearing. If they seem stiff, warm them slightly before filling.
- Customize the Filling: Feel free to add black beans, corn, or sliced bell peppers to add color and nutrition.
- Meal Prep Option: Prepare and assemble the burritos ahead of time and wrap them tightly in foil. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick meal.
- Make it Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the ranch sauce for a spicy twist.
- Serve with a Dipping Sauce: Pair with extra ranch dressing, salsa, or guacamole on the side for added flavor.
