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.
