  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
– 1 packet ranch dressing mix
– 1 cup ranch dressing (for serving)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 4 large flour tortillas
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Best Chicken Bell Pepper Ranch Burritos is a breeze when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
2. Add Peppers: Stir in the chopped bell peppers. Sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix in Dressing: Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the chicken and peppers. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Warm Tortillas: In a separate pan, lightly heat the tortillas until warm to make them pliable.
5. Assemble Burritos: On each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chicken and bell pepper mixture. Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the top.
6. Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up snugly from the bottom.
7. Optional – Grill: If desired, place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the empty skillet to grill lightly, for an added crunch.
8. Serve: Transfer the burritos to plates and serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping or drizzling.
