Instructions

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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve:
Slice the burritos in half if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your chicken avocado ranch burritos with your favorite salsa or guacamole!

Notes

For a healthier twist, you can use whole wheat tortillas or substitute Greek yogurt for ranch dressing.
