  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American-Mexican
  • Diet: Low Lactose

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped; grilled, rotisserie, or breaded)
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, chili powder, chopped cilantro, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté bell peppers and onions for 6–8 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
  2. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Lay out and layer chicken, sautéed veggies, cheese, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
  3. Fold sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly into a burrito.
  4. In a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat, place burritos seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  5. Remove from pan, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add jalapeños, spicy ranch, or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Use mushrooms or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option.
  • Add black beans, corn, or rice to bulk up the filling.
  • Bake instead of pan-frying for a hands-off, crispy finish.
  • Freeze wrapped burritos for up to 2 months; reheat in air fryer or oven.
