Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 (1.25-ounce) package taco seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 burrito-size flour tortillas, 10 inches each
• 2 avocados, halved, peeled, seeded, and diced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup Ranch dressing
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Heat olive oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium heat.
2. Season chicken thighs with taco seasoning.
3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Tortillas

1. Heat tortillas according to package instructions.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

1. Working one at a time, place chicken, avocado, cheese, sour cream, Ranch dressing, and cilantro in the center of each tortilla.
2. Bring the bottom edge of the tortilla tightly over the filling, folding in the sides. Continue rolling until the top of the tortilla is reached. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 4: Grill the Burritos

1. Heat the same grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the assembled burritos and cook, pressing gently with a spatula, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 5: Serve

1. Serve the burritos immediately while they’re hot and the cheese is melty.

Cooking Tips

• Chicken Substitution: You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast if you prefer a leaner option.
• Cheese Variation: Feel free to use any type of cheese you like. Cheddar or Monterey Jack would also work well in this recipe.
• Add Some Heat: If you like your burritos spicy, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
