Description
A flavorful, crunchy, and satisfying meal capturing the magic of fast-casual dining. This burrito combines smoky chipotle sauce and cool ranch with tender grilled chicken and a signature crunch from tortilla strips, all sealed in a perfectly toasted, golden-brown tortilla.
Ingredients
The Wrap & Protein
- 8 (10-inch) large flour tortillas
- 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
- 16 oz shredded cheddar (or Mexican blend)
The Fresh & Crunchy Fillings
- 4 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped and dried
- 1.1/4 cups diced tomatoes
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips
The Signature Sauces
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Creamy Chipotle Sauce
Instructions
Prep: Chop lettuce, dice tomatoes, and shred cheese. Warm tortillas briefly to make them flexible.
Layer: Lay tortilla flat. Add 0.5 cup cheese and 0.5 cup chicken to the center.
Sauce: Drizzle 1 tbsp ranch and 1 tbsp chipotle sauce. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and a handful of tortilla strips.
Roll: Fold in sides and roll tightly from the bottom.
Toast: Place seam-side down in a medium skillet. Grill for 1–2 mins per side until golden and cheese is melted.
Notes
Seam-Side Secret: Placing the burrito seam-side down first ‘cauterizes’ the edge, sealing it shut.
Dry Your Veggies: Pat lettuce and tomatoes dry; excess moisture is the primary cause of a soggy burrito.
Sauce Swap: Mix mayo, adobo sauce, lime, and cumin for a DIY chipotle substitute.
