Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly to blend the flavors evenly.
Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas gently until they become soft and pliable, either in a microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel or in a dry skillet over low heat. This will make rolling easier without cracking.
Assemble the burritos: Divide the chicken avocado ranch mixture evenly onto the center of each warmed tortilla. Top each with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese to add crunch and extra flavor.
Roll the burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling is enclosed securely inside to avoid spillage.
Serve: Place the burritos on plates and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping or topping according to individual preference.

Notes

Use cooked chicken from leftovers, rotisserie, or quickly poached for convenience.
To keep avocado from browning, prepare the filling just before assembling the burritos or add extra lime juice.
Warm tortillas make rolling easier and improve texture.
Feel free to substitute ranch dressing with a dairy-free or vegan ranch to accommodate dietary preferences.
Customize with additional toppings like jalapeños, black beans, or corn for extra flavor and texture.
