This burrito puts a delicious twist on a classic, capturing the smoky kick of chipotle blended with cool, creamy ranch—all wrapped around tender grilled chicken, cheese, and fresh fillings. Inspired by a fan-favorite from Taco Bell, it's a homemade delight that balances rich flavors and textures: crispy tortilla wraps, juicy chicken, crunchy chips, and a tangy sauce. Easy enough for busy weeknights yet satisfying enough for weekends, this recipe brings bold Tex-Mex flavor to your table without the fast-food price or preservatives.
Filling & Wrap
16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
2 cups shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
1¼ cups diced tomatoes
16 oz shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
3 oz crunchy tortilla strips or chips
Optional: diced avocado (⅓–½ cup)
Chipotle Ranch Sauce
½ cup ranch dressing
1 Tbsp creamy chipotle sauce (or chipotle peppers in adobo, blended slightly)
Optional: a squeeze of lime juice for brightness
Prep — Gather and prep all components (warm tortillas, shred lettuce, dice tomatoes).
Assemble — Lay a tortilla flat. Layer fillings: lettuce, chicken, cheese, tomatoes, tortilla strips (and avocado if using). Drizzle ~1 Tbsp ranch and 1 Tbsp chipotle sauce over fillings.
Wrap — Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from one end to fully enclose.
Grill — Heat a nonstick or lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down and grill ~1–2 minutes per side until golden all around.
Serve — Serve hot, optionally with extra chipotle ranch or salsa for dipping.
