Total Time 19 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large burrito flour or wheat tortillas
  • 4 cups iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 1 ½ cups Roma or vine tomatoes diced
  • 1 pound grilled chicken cubed or shredded
  • 2 cups Mexican blend or cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 large Hass avocado diced
  • For Serving Optional Enhancements
  • 3 ounces crunchy tortilla strips
  • ¼ cup avocado ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup chipotle ranch dressing
  • Side of cilantro lime rice or cantina rice
  • Side of Mexican-style black beans

Instructions
 

  • Before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas to make them more pliable. Place each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for about 10 to 15 seconds on each side. This prevents them from cracking when folding and rolling.
  • Step 2: Assemble the Ingredients
  • Divide the burrito fillings evenly among the eight tortillas. Place each ingredient in the center of the tortilla to ensure even distribution.
  • For each burrito, layer the following:
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ⅓ cup grilled chicken (cubed or shredded)
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • 3 tablespoons diced tomatoes
  • ⅛ of a diced avocado
  • A sprinkle of crunchy tortilla strips for extra texture
  • 1 tablespoon of chipotle ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado ranch dressing
  • Step 3: Fold and Roll the Burrito
  • Folding the burrito properly is essential to prevent the fillings from spilling out. Follow these steps for a secure wrap:
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, covering part of the filling.
  • Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla upward, tucking it tightly as you go.
  • Continue rolling until the entire burrito is enclosed.
  • Step 4: Toast the Burritos
  • Toasting the burritos enhances their flavor and texture, giving them a golden, crispy exterior.
  • Lightly coat a frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  • Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your pan.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.
