Scale
Chicken
- 3 cups grilled and diced chicken (approximately 4 tenderloins or 2 small chicken breasts)
Burrito Filling
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons flamethrower sauce or chipotle ranch
- 1/2 avocado, diced (approximately 1/3 cup)
- 2/3 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup fiesta strips or crushed tortilla chips
Other
- 2 burrito tortillas
- Oil for pan heating
Instructions
- Grill and Dice Chicken: Grill the chicken as desired until fully cooked and then dice it into bite-sized pieces. If preferred, use leftover or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Prepare Ingredients: While the chicken is cooking, dice the tomatoes and avocado. Prepare or use pre-made flamethrower sauce or chipotle ranch sauce.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the diced grilled chicken, tomatoes, avocado, shredded lettuce, crushed tortilla chips, and 4 tablespoons of flamethrower or chipotle ranch sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly in the sauce.
- Assemble Burritos: Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Place half of the filling mixture onto each tortilla. Fold the opposite sides of the tortilla inwards and roll tightly around the filling. Keep the burritos seam side down to prevent unrolling.
- Seal and Pan-Grill: Place a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese inside the tortilla seam to help seal the burrito. Transfer the burrito seam side down onto the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Gently press the top of the burrito to flatten slightly for easier eating.
