These come together with just 15 min prep! You can also make this ahead of time and bake right before serving. SO EASY!
Living in Los Angeles for the last 16 years, it’s no surprise that I love a good burrito. And when I saya good burrito, I mean one of those burritos from a street vendor – the ones where they pile on the cheese, the sour cream and the avocado.
So that’s exactly what we have here – in moderation. Except let’s pile on the avocado and Ranch dressing while we’re at it. You always need a good dosage of Ranch dressing in a burrito, right?
And since it’s Memorial Dayand all, go ahead and serve this up with a pitcher of margaritas.

These were so easy. I cut my chicken up and tossed it in olive oil and the taco seasoning and cooked it in my air fryer. It’s becoming our new favorite. I want to try the ranch mix with non fat greek yogurt and see how that tastes.

These are soooooo good and easy!!! I did not have ranch dressing but did have hidden valley ranch dip packets so I just added that to sour cream and used that and it was DELICIOUS!! I also did the bake option just because it was easier and I mean these were a huge hit! Left the ranch/sour cream combo out of one as one in the family dsnt like it and that still tasted awesome!! And these heat up well the next day as left overs 🙂 Will definitely be making again and posting photos on insta! Will be sure to tag you! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Have not made these yet, but was wondering if it’s possible to sub the chicken with black beans and rice? Would it still taste ok? If so, how much rice and how much black beans would be sufficient?
Thanks!

I think that there is way too much salt in this recipe. For healthier version I would suggest eliminating the taco seasoning and make your own with less sodium. Also, you can shave calories by omitting sour cream. Otherwise it sounds fabulous.

Carlie — January 31, 2018 @ 1:33 PM Reply
Thanks for the recipe!!! IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I didn’t change a couple minor things. We used whole wheat tortillas. Instead of using sour cream and ranch dressing, I put dry ranch seasoning mix in plain greek yogurt. Also, I put the taco seasoning mix on the chicken (we used chicken breasts) after I cooked it. I did put a small amt of olive oil on the outside of the rolled up burrito and grilled it in a regular pan. We will definitely be making this again and again!!! Thank you!

When you prepare ahead of time, won’t it be soggy by the time you grill it, after you’ve already added the sour cream and ranch ? Want to make sure I get it right. I’m planning to make it tomorrow for last-minute guests and would rather do-ahead! Thanks so much 🙂
