  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Filling

  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup sour cream Can substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 2 medium avocados Slice and mash with lime juice.
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Can swap for Pepper Jack for heat.
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas Can use gluten-free tortillas if needed.
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • ½ cup tomatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Prevents avocado from browning.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it evenly on both sides.
  • Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • While the chicken is baking, mash the avocados with lime juice.
  • Mix the ranch dressing and sour cream in a bowl until smooth.
  • Remove chicken from the oven, let it rest, and then shred it.
  • Warm the tortillas either in the microwave or on a skillet.

Assembly

  • Spread the ranch mixture on each tortilla then layer with shredded chicken, mashed avocado, cheddar, mozzarella, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.
  • Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito.
  • Optional: Crisp the burritos on a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.

Serving

  • Serve warm, optionally with extra ranch dressing on the side.

Notes

Store assembled burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, un-toasted to prevent sogginess. To freeze, wrap tightly in parchment paper and foil.
