Instructions

Prepare the tortillas: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface to make assembly easier and keep them pliable for rolling.
Assemble the burritos: In the center of each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, avocado slices, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, cooked rice (if using), shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Season each with a pinch of salt and black pepper for enhanced flavor.
Fold and roll: Fold in the sides of each tortilla towards the center, then tightly roll from the bottom up to form a secure burrito shape that holds the filling inside.
Heat the skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
Grill the burritos: Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortillas turn golden brown and crisp, ensuring the filling is warmed through and the cheese slightly melted.
Serve: Remove from heat, slice each burrito in half diagonally, and serve warm for a satisfying meal.

Notes

For extra flavor, toss the shredded chicken with a tablespoon of ranch dressing before assembling the burritos.
Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb wraps for a healthier option.
Burritos can be wrapped tightly in foil and reheated in the oven for convenience.
If you prefer spicier burritos, add a splash of hot sauce or some jalapeño slices inside.
