Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas and Fillings
- 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas
- 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
- 16 oz shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend or Colby jack)
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce (about 4 cups, chopped)
- 1 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (about 3/4 beef steak tomato, diced)
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips)
Sauces
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Grate the cheese, chop the iceberg lettuce into about 4 cups, and dice the tomatoes finely. Lay out all the prepared ingredients to assemble the burritos easily.
- Assemble the burritos: Place one large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add 1/2 cup shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, followed by 1/2 cup grilled chicken strips.
- Add sauces and veggies: Spoon 1 tablespoon of creamy chipotle sauce and 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing over the chicken. Layer with 1/2 cup chopped lettuce and 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes for fresh crunch.
- Top with tortilla strips: Sprinkle about 1/3 cup crunchy tortilla strips over the fillings to add texture and flavor.
- Roll the burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling completely.
- Grill the burritos: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled burritos seam-side down and cook on all sides until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Notes
- Use warm tortillas to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- You can substitute the ranch and chipotle sauce with homemade versions for a fresher taste.
- Grilling the burritos on a skillet crisps the tortilla and melts the cheese inside for better texture.
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce inside the burrito.
- Leftover grilled chicken can be used to save time.
