Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with ranch dressing until well coated. If using black beans and corn, add them to the mixture.
  2. Assemble Burritos: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place a few slices of avocado in the center of each tortilla. Top with a portion of the chicken mixture, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and cilantro if using.
  3. Wrap Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Place the wrapped burritos seam side down on a plate or baking sheet.
  4. Optional: Toast Burritos: For a crispy finish, heat a skillet over medium heat and toast each burrito for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
