Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
- 1 cup chipotle ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend works great)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: jalapeños, sour cream, or any additional toppings you love
Steps to Create Burrito Bliss
1. Prep the Chicken
Start by firing up your grill or grill pan. Season those chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Grill them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach that beautiful golden brown and no longer have any pink peeking through. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing—this step keeps all those delicious juices inside!
2. Assemble the Burrito
Take a large flour tortilla and channel your inner burrito artist! Spread a generous amount of chipotle ranch dressing in the center of the tortilla. Add sliced grilled chicken, a handful of shredded lettuce, a scattering of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. And hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in some jalapeños for a kick!
3. Roll it Up
Now comes the fun part! Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring all your tasty fillings stay snug inside. Think of it as wrapping a precious gift—you want to keep all that goodness in!
4. Serve and Enjoy!
Slice the burrito in half if you’re feeling fancy (or just really hungry), and don’t forget to add avocado slices on top. A dollop of sour cream is also a fan favorite. Now, dig in and relish every bite of this culinary wonder!
Cooking Tips
Cooking should be fun and forgiving, right? If your sauce looks a little lumpy, don’t worry—it’s all part of the magic! Remember, you can always adjust the spice level of the chipotle ranch by adding more or less chipotle sauce. Oh, and if you have leftovers (which I highly doubt), pack them away in an airtight container, and they’ll keep in the fridge for up to three days. Win-win!

FAQs
Can I substitute the chicken for something else?
Absolutely! Feel free to switch it up with turkey, tofu, or even beans for a vegetarian version. Life is too short for boring food, right?
How can I store leftovers?
Simply wrap any leftovers in foil or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them gently in the microwave or on a skillet—just be cautious not to overdo it, or you might end up with a tough burrito!
What can I add to my burrito?
The world is your oyster! Think corn, black beans, or sautéed peppers and onions. Seriously, throw in whatever your taste buds are craving. Just remember to keep that tortilla nice and tight so everything stays in!
