Preparation Method
Step One: Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, corn, black beans (if using), diced tomatoes, and green onions.
- Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated without mashing the avocado.
Step Two: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable.
Step Three: Assemble the Burritos
- Spoon the filling evenly onto the center of each tortilla.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to create a burrito.
Step Four: Serve or Store
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- For meal prep, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Pro Tip: For extra crunch, lightly grill the wrapped burritos on a pan or griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side before serving.
