Instructions

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, mash the avocados and stir in a pinch of salt and chopped cilantro.
Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture in the center.
Add the chicken mixture on top, followed by shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito.
Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place burritos seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Remove from heat, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken works beautifully here for a quick shortcut.

Want a little kick? Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

These burritos freeze well—wrap tightly and store for up to 2 months.

If your burrito feels overstuffed (we’ve all been there), just tuck and roll gently—it’ll still taste amazing!
