Description

A flavorful copycat Taco Bell burrito stuffed with grilled chicken, crunchy tortilla strips, fresh veggies, melted cheese, and creamy chipotle‑ranch sauce, then grilled until crispy.


Ingredients

  • 8 large 10‑inch flour tortillas
  • 16 oz grilled chicken breast strips
  • 16 oz shredded cheddar or Mexican‑blend cheese
  • ½ head iceberg lettuce (about 4 cups, chopped)
  •  cup diced tomatoes
  • 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup creamy chipotle sauce


Instructions

  1. Prep: chop lettuce, dice tomatoes, shred cheese, and lay out all ingredients.
  2. Assemble: on each tortilla, layer ~½ cup cheese, ½ cup chicken, 1 Tbsp chipotle sauce, 1 Tbsp ranch dressing, ½ cup lettuce, 2 Tbsp tomatoes and ⅓ cup tortilla strips.
  3. Fold burrito: tuck in sides and roll tightly.
  4. Grill: place seam‑side down on a preheated skillet over medium‑high; toast each side until golden‑crisp.
  5. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Can’t freeze assembled burritos—they get soggy from lettuce, tomatoes & chips; freeze only with freezer‑friendly fillings wrapped in foil (up to 3 months).
  • Leftovers reheat best in microwave then crisped in oven at 400 °F for ~15 minutes.
  • For variation, use whole wheat tortillas, Mexican‑blend cheese, or add rice, beans, jalapeños, sour cream or avocado.
  • You can make your own chipotle ranch by mixing ranch dressing with chipotle peppers in adobo.
