Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito
.
Ingredients:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into ½ inch pieces
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or your preferred Cajun seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup chipotle ranch dressing
- ¼ cup avocado ranch dressing
- 10 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 3.5 oz Fresh Gourmet Santa Fe-style tortilla strips
- 8 oz shredded lettuce
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 cups shredded Colby jack cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado, diced
Instructions:
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced chicken, onions, and seasonings (Slap Ya Mama, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes). Stir occasionally and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess liquid from the skillet.
- Add the dressings: Pour both the chipotle ranch dressing and avocado ranch dressing into the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the dressings.
- Assemble the burritos: Heat the flour tortillas and place them flat on a surface. Add the chicken mixture, shredded cheese, diced avocado, diced tomatoes, tortilla strips, and shredded lettuce to each tortilla.
- Grill the burritos: Drizzle with additional dressing if desired. Fold the tortillas to form burritos. Lightly spray a skillet or frying pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place the burritos in the skillet and grill on medium heat until golden on both sides.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and enjoy your delicious Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos!

- Can I use pre-cooked chicken to save time?
Yes! You can use rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken to save time. Just shred or chop the chicken and mix it with the dressings to add the flavor without having to cook it from scratch.
- How can I make the burritos less spicy?
If you want to tone down the heat, simply reduce the amount of chipotle ranch dressing and skip or reduce the red pepper flakes. You can also use a milder ranch dressing to replace the avocado ranch if needed.
- Can I make the burritos in advance and freeze them?
Definitely! You can assemble the burritos, wrap them tightly in foil, and freeze them for up to 3 months. When you’re ready, just thaw them and heat in the oven or on a skillet until golden and warm.
- What can I use instead of tortilla strips for crunch?
No tortilla strips? No problem! You can substitute them with crushed tortilla chips, crispy fried onions, or even crumbled pita chips for that crunchy texture in your burrito.
- How do I prevent the burritos from getting soggy?
To keep the burritos crisp, be sure not to overfill them. Also, drain any excess liquid from veggies like tomatoes and lettuce. Grilling them in a pan just before serving will help maintain their crispiness too.
