Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito
Ingredients
- 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas
- ½ head iceberg lettuce (about 4 cups, chopped)
- 1 ¼ cup diced tomatoes (about 3/4 of a beefsteak tomato)
- 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
- 16 oz shredded cheddar cheese (Mexican blend or Colby jack can also be used)
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips)
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ½ cup Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Grate the cheese, chop the lettuce, and dice the tomatoes. Arrange all the ingredients on a clean surface.
- Assemble the Burritos: Place one large flour tortilla flat and start layering the fillings. Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of grilled chicken strips, 1 tablespoon of chipotle sauce, 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing, 1/2 cup of lettuce, 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes, and 1/3 cup of crunchy tortilla strips.
- Roll the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to form a burrito.
- Grill the Burrito: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill the burrito on all sides until golden brown and crispy, using tongs to flip it.
- Can I use store-bought grilled chicken instead of grilling my own?
Absolutely! You can save time by using pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken. Just shred it up and you’re good to go. It’ll still taste delicious and cut down on prep time.
- What if I don’t have chipotle sauce? Can I use something else?
If you can’t find chipotle sauce, you can easily make a homemade version by mixing ranch dressing with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Just blend until smooth and adjust the spice level to your liking!
- Can I make these burritos ahead of time?
It’s best to assemble the burritos just before grilling to keep them fresh. However, you can prep all the fillings and store them separately in the fridge for up to 1 day. When you’re ready, just heat and wrap!
- Can I use a different type of tortilla?
If you prefer, you can swap out the flour tortillas for whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist. Or try corn tortillas for a different texture!
- How can I make this recipe spicier?
If you want to crank up the heat, add a little extra chipotle sauce or sprinkle in some diced jalapeños. You can also add a dash of hot sauce to each burrito before rolling it up!
