- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced

For Assembling
- 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until fully incorporated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas either in the microwave for about 20 seconds or on a skillet over medium heat until they become soft and pliable, preparing them for easy rolling.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the chicken avocado ranch mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas, spreading it along the center of each one.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese over the filling on each tortilla to add freshness and flavor.
- Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form neatly wrapped burritos.
- Serve: Plate the Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos and serve them with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping or drizzling to enhance flavor.
Notes
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or hot sauce in the filling.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps.
- Feel free to add black beans or corn kernels to the filling for added texture and nutrients.
- To keep burritos warm before serving, wrap them in foil and place in a low oven (about 200°F) for 10 minutes.
