Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 ounce)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing

- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and cook for 5–6 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, ranch seasoning mix, and ranch dressing. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until heated through.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to fold.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas and top each with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Fold the sides inward and roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a skillet or grill pan and toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great for a quicker preparation.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
- Black beans, corn, or rice can be added for a heartier filling.
- Pepper jack cheese can replace cheddar for a spicier flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze wrapped burritos individually for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for the crispiest texture.
