Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded)
2 ripe avocados (sliced)
6 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella (or pepper jack)
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
salt and pepper (optional)
Cilantro Yogurt Ranch Sauce:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or warm tortillas by wrapping in a damp towel and microwaving for 30 seconds.
In a bowl, combine cooked chicken, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, diced red onion, 1/8 cup cilantro, 1 tbsp lime juice, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Prepare the cilantro yogurt ranch sauce by blending Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, remaining cilantro, ranch seasoning, and a squeeze of lime juice in a small bowl.
Spoon 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla, top with avocado slices, and spread 1 tbsp of ranch sauce.
Fold the tortillas into burritos, tucking in the sides and rolling tightly. Bake for 5-10 minutes or serve fresh.
Notes
Customize with toppings like salsa, tomatoes, or jalapeños.
Make ahead: Store assembled burritos in the fridge for 1-2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Use leftover grilled chicken for quicker prep.
