Ingredients
-
8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
-
16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
-
16 oz shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend/Colby Jack)
-
½ head iceberg lettuce (about 4 cups), chopped
-
1¼ cup diced tomatoes (approx. ¾ large beefsteak tomato)
-
3 oz crunchy tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips)
-
½ cup ranch dressing
-
½ cup creamy chipotle sauce (e.g., Taco Bell brand or homemade)
Instructions
-
Prep all ingredients. Chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and warm the tortillas and grilled chicken strips.
-
Assemble each burrito. On each tortilla, layer:
-
½ cup shredded cheese
-
½ cup grilled chicken
-
1 tbsp chipotle sauce
-
1 tbsp ranch dressing
-
½ cup lettuce
-
2 tbsp diced tomatoes
-
⅓ cup tortilla strips
-
-
Wrap tightly. Fold in the sides, roll the burrito tightly, and set aside seam-side down.
-
Grill burritos. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Grill each burrito on all sides until golden and crispy—about 2–3 minutes per side.
-
Serve hot. Slice in half, garnish with lime or cilantro if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
-
For extra spice, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
-
Swap cheddar with pepper jack for added heat.
-
To make ahead: assemble burritos, wrap in foil, and refrigerate or freeze before grilling.
-
Use Greek yogurt ranch for a lighter twist.
