If you’re looking for substitutions, feel free to use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist or swap cheddar with your favorite cheese blend. This recipe is all about making it your own!
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to soften and caramelize.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
- Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing everything well. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet until they are pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous tablespoon of ranch dressing in the center.
- Divide the chicken and pepper mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it over the ranch dressing.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling, then roll the tortillas tightly into burritos.
- For a crispy exterior, lightly toast the burritos on a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
