• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Because cheese makes everything better.
• Sour cream, for serving: Adds a creamy texture.

Directions

1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until it’s well mixed.
2. Warm the tortillas: You can do this in the microwave or on a skillet. Just make sure they become soft and pliable. This makes rolling your burritos much easier.
3. Assemble the burritos: Take each warmed tortilla and spread an even portion of the chicken avocado ranch mixture down the center. Top with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.
4. Roll them up: Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then roll them tightly to ensure everything stays inside.
5. Serve and enjoy: Pair these burritos with sour cream and salsa. Use these for dipping or drizzling over your burrito for extra flavor.

• Variations: Feel free to customize your burritos. Add beans, corn, or even switch up the cheese for something like pepper jack if you enjoy a little heat.
