Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped

• 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup sour cream or ranch dressing

6. Optional: Heat a skillet with a little olive oil and sear each burrito seam-side down until golden and crisp.

Troubleshooting & Consistency Tips

• Burrito falling apart? Don’t overfill and make sure tortillas are fresh and pliable.
• Too dry? Add a bit more sour cream or ranch dressing to the filling.
• Cheese not melting? Cover the pan for a minute after adding cheese or microwave filling before wrapping.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Refrigerate: Store wrapped burritos in foil or containers for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Wrap individually in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or skillet.
• Make-Ahead Tip: Prep the filling ahead and assemble burritos fresh when ready to eat.
