Description

Warm, creamy burritos filled with seasoned chicken, cool ranch sauce, buttery avocado, and melty cheese, perfect for busy nights.


Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 medium avocados
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Season the chicken. Place chicken breasts on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and rub it over both sides. Sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then shred it into bite-size pieces.
  5. Mash the avocado. Scoop avocado into a bowl and mash until mostly smooth with a few chunks. Stir in lime juice.
  6. Make the sauce. In another bowl, mix ranch dressing and sour cream until smooth.
  7. Warm the tortillas for 15–20 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet.
  8. Assemble the burritos with ranch sauce, chicken, avocado, cheddar, mozzarella, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.
  9. Roll the tortillas tightly and optionally crisp them in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
  10. Serve warm with extra ranch on the side.
