Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Chicken:
    • In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts (or thighs).
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
    • Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Assemble the Burritos:
    • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
    • Spread a few tablespoons of ranch dressing in the center of each tortilla.
    • Layer the cooked chicken, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and red onion (if using). Add cooked rice for extra filling if desired.
    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, making sure everything is wrapped inside.
  3. Serve:
    • Optional: You can toast the burritos in the skillet. Place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
    • Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
  4. Enjoy: Slice the burritos in half and serve with extra ranch dressing or salsa on the side.
