Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped fine
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro until smooth and creamy. Chill while prepping other ingredients.
  2. Warm cooked chicken in a skillet with taco seasoning. If starting from raw, cook fully until internal temperature reaches 165°F, then shred or dice. Season as needed.
  3. Slice avocados and toss with lime juice to prevent browning.
  4. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable to prevent tearing.
  5. On each warm tortilla, spread 2 tablespoons ranch sauce down the center.
  6. Layer with chicken, avocado, mozzarella, red onion, and cilantro. Add a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
  7. Roll up each burrito, tucking in sides first, then rolling tightly from bottom.
  8. Toast seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes until golden and cheese melts inside.
  9. Cut burritos in half diagonally and serve with extra ranch sauce and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Use slightly firm avocados for easier slicing. Very ripe avocados can be mashed and spread instead.
  • Chicken thighs have more flavor than breasts. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this quick recipe.
  • Warm tortillas properly to prevent tearing when rolling. Don’t overfill burritos for easier wrapping.
  • Extra ranch sauce works great as salad dressing or dip for chips.
  • Stored burritos may have slight avocado browning, but taste remains delicious.
