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.
