Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked crispy chicken tenders, chopped
- 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped crispy chicken tenders, thinly sliced bell peppers, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and well incorporated.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the chicken and vegetable mixture among the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape, ensuring the filling is securely wrapped inside.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet evenly to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Burritos: Place the burritos seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to crisp up all sides evenly while keeping the burrito intact.
- Serve: Remove the burritos from the skillet and serve them hot. Optionally, provide extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping to enhance the flavor.
Notes
- Use air-fried or store-bought chicken tenders for convenience and ease.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with pepper jack cheese for a spicier twist.
- These burritos reheat well in a skillet or air fryer, making them great for leftovers.
