Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup chipotle ranch dressing
- ¼ cup avocado ranch dressing
- 10 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 (3.5 oz) package Santa Fe-style tortilla strips
- 8 oz shredded lettuce
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1 large avocado, diced
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the diced chicken, onions, and seasonings (Slap Ya Mama, garlic powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes). Stir everything together and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, and the onions are soft and translucent. Drain any excess liquid. - Add the Dressings:
Pour in the chipotle ranch and avocado ranch dressings. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated. Let it simmer for a minute or two, then remove from heat. - Assemble the Burritos:
Warm up the flour tortillas. To each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chicken mixture, followed by shredded cheese, diced avocado, tomatoes, tortilla strips, and lettuce. Drizzle with extra dressing if desired. - Grill the Burritos:
Fold each burrito tightly. Lightly spray a skillet or griddle with non-stick spray and heat over medium heat. Grill the burritos seam-side down until golden and crisp, then flip and grill the other side. - Serve:
Remove from the skillet and serve hot. Enjoy!
- For a spicier kick, add extra chipotle ranch or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Don’t skip grilling—this adds that crave-worthy crunch and helps the burrito stay sealed.

- Can I use pre-cooked or leftover chicken to save time?
Absolutely! Using pre-cooked or leftover chicken is a great time-saver. Simply shred or dice the chicken and toss it with the chipotle and avocado ranch dressings as directed.
- How can I prevent the burrito tortillas from tearing during assembly?
Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent tearing. Heat them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for a few seconds on each side until they become pliable.
- Can I make these burritos ahead of time for meal prep?
While it’s best to assemble the burritos just before serving to avoid sogginess, you can prepare the fillings and toppings in advance and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the burritos when ready to eat.
- What can I use if I can’t find Fiesta tortilla strips?
If Fiesta tortilla strips are unavailable, crushed tortilla chips or any other crunchy tortilla strips can be used to add the desired crunch to your burritos.
- How do I store leftover burritos, and how long will they last?
Store leftover burritos in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They should be consumed within 2-3 days for the best quality. To reheat, wrap them loosely in foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
