Instructions
-
Mix the Magic Sauce
In a bowl, toss grilled chicken with ranch and chipotle sauce until fully coated. Let sit 5 minutes so flavors really hug. -
Warm the Tortillas
Microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 15 seconds, or toast briefly on a dry skillet. This step prevents cracking! -
Assemble Like a Burrito Boss
On each tortilla, layer:-
½ cup lettuce
-
2 tbsp tomatoes
-
2 tbsp shredded cheese
-
A sprinkle of tortilla strips
-
~½ cup saucy chicken
Leave a 2-inch border on all sides!
-
-
Roll with Confidence
Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up tightly. Tuck it in like a burrito baby! If it wants to open, use a toothpick. -
Grill to Crispy Perfection
Heat a skillet to medium. Grill burritos seam-side down 1–2 minutes until golden. Flip and repeat. Optional: Brush with oil or butter for next-level crunch.
Notes
Q: My burrito falls apart—why?!
A: Likely too full or cold tortillas. Use ½ cup filling max and always warm your tortillas.
Q: Can I make these ahead?
A: Absolutely! Assemble (don’t grill), wrap in foil, refrigerate up to 24 hours. Grill when ready.
Q: Too spicy for my kiddos?
A: Use less chipotle! Try ¼ cup chipotle + ¾ cup ranch—or replace with salsa for a milder flavor.
Q: Why won’t my cheese melt?
A: Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents. Shred it fresh for ooey-gooey meltiness.
