Savory handheld burritos combining juicy baked chicken, creamy avocado ranch, and melty cheese in warm tortillas. Balanced textures and bold seasonings make these perfect for quick lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup ranch dressing
2 medium avocados
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas
Notes: Substitute thighs for extra moisture, use avocado oil for higher smoke point, full-fat ranch for best flavor, choose whole wheat tortillas for added fiber


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange ingredients at prep station
Drizzle oil over chicken and coat with spices. Bake on parchment-lined sheet until 165°F

Mash avocados in bowl, add lime juice
Combine ranch with sour cream in separate bowl
Warm tortillas, layer sauce, chicken, avocado, cheeses, and garnishes
Fold seams first and roll tightly. Sear in skillet for crunch if desired

Notes

Let chicken rest before shredding for juicier results
Use fresh tortillas for pliability
Add optional garnishes like cilantro or tomatoes
