Ingredients
Units
Scale
Chicken
- 3 cups grilled &; diced chicken (approximately 4 tenderloins or 2 small chicken breasts)
Filling
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons flamethrower sauce or chipotle ranch
- 1/2 avocado diced (approximately 1/3 cup)
- 2/3 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup crushed fiesta strips or tortilla chips
Wrap
- 2 burrito tortillas
- Oil for pan heating (quantity as needed)
Instructions
- Grill Chicken: Grill the chicken as desired until fully cooked, then dice into bite-sized pieces. Alternatively, use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Prepare Sauce and Veggies: Make the flamethrower sauce or use a store-bought chipotle ranch. Dice tomatoes and avocado while the chicken is cooking.
- Combine Filling: In a large bowl, mix the diced grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, flamethrower sauce, avocado, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed fiesta strips. Toss everything together ensuring the filling is evenly coated with sauce.
- Assemble Burritos: Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Lay out each tortilla and place half of the filling mixture in the center. Fold in opposite sides and roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, keeping the seam side down to prevent unrolling.
- Seal Burritos: Place a small amount of shredded cheese inside the tortilla seam to act as a glue, then carefully place the burrito seam side down onto the hot pan.
- Pan Toast Burritos: Cook each burrito for 1-2 minutes per side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, pressing gently on top to flatten if desired for easier eating.

- Flamethrower sauce is a yogurt-based chipotle ranch, but store-bought chipotle ranch or creamy chipotle sauce works well as a substitute.
