Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Fillings
- 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce (about 4 cups chopped)
- 1 1/4 cups diced tomatoes (about 3/4 beefsteak tomato)
- 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
- 16 oz shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend or Colby Jack)
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips)
Sauces
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded, chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces, and dice the tomatoes. Lay out all your ingredients for easy assembly.
- Assemble the burrito: Lay a large flour tortilla flat and top it evenly with 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1/2 cup grilled chicken strips, 1 tablespoon creamy chipotle sauce, 1 tablespoon ranch dressing, 1/2 cup lettuce, 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes, and finally 1/3 cup crunchy tortilla strips for texture.
- Roll the burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it from the bottom up into a neat burrito, enclosing all the fillings securely.
- Grill the burrito: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. This seals the burrito and adds delicious crunch.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add extra chipotle sauce or some sliced jalapeños inside the burrito.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if needed.
- Use freshly grilled chicken for best flavor, or leftover grilled chicken strips work great.
- Wrap burritos tightly to prevent fillings from falling out while grilling.
- To keep burritos warm before serving, wrap in foil and place in a low oven (200°F) for up to 15 minutes.
