Equipment

- Small bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Large Flour Tortillas
- 1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese per burrito, divided for crust and filling
- Butter or Oil for grilling
- 1/2 cup Shredded rotisserie chicken per burrito
- 2-3 tbsp Buffalo sauce per burrito, to taste
- 1-2 tbsp Ranch dressing per burrito, to taste
Instructions
The Burrito
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them flexible and prevent cracking.
- In a small bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing; mix well.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, then add butter or oil.
- Sprinkle about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese onto the hot pan in a circular shape, slightly larger than the tortilla.
- As the cheese melts and crisps (1-2 minutes), immediately place a warmed tortilla on top of the cheese and gently press it down.
- While still on the heat, add the prepared spicy chicken ranch filling to the center of the tortilla, and sprinkle with more Monterey Jack cheese if desired.
- Once the cheese crust is golden brown and crispy, carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to create a burrito shape.
- Flip the burrito seam-side down, press gently with a spatula to seal, and grill for another 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and crispy.
- Remove from the pan, slice in half if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. You can also customize the cheese with cheddar or a spicy blend!
