Wrap Components
- 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas
Fillings
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce (about 4 cups chopped)
- 1 1/4 cups diced tomatoes (about 3/4 of a beefsteak tomato)
- 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
- 16 oz shredded cheddar cheese (can substitute Mexican blend or Colby jack)
- 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips)
Sauces
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup Taco Bell creamy chipotle sauce
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Grate the cheddar cheese, chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces, and dice the tomatoes finely. Lay out all ingredients for easy assembly.
- Assemble the burrito: Lay a large flour tortilla flat. Spread 1/2 cup shredded cheese evenly over the center, followed by 1/2 cup grilled chicken strips. Add 1 tablespoon of creamy chipotle sauce and 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing on top. Layer with 1/2 cup chopped lettuce, 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes, and 1/3 cup crunchy tortilla strips for added texture.
- Roll the burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then tightly roll it up from one end to encase all fillings securely.
- Grill the burrito: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside is melted. Turn carefully to grill all sides evenly.
Notes
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with a Mexican blend or Colby jack cheese based on preference.
- For a spicier kick, add extra chipotle sauce inside the burrito.
- If you prefer, use crushed tortilla chips instead of crunchy tortilla strips for the crunch element.
- Make sure to grill the burrito evenly on all sides to achieve a crispy exterior and melted interior.
- Serve immediately after grilling for the best texture and flavor.
