Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or a little butter for grilling (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion and sauté for about 5‑7 minutes until the peppers are soft but still have some bite. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream with the ranch seasoning mix to create the creamy ranch sauce.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken with the ranch sauce until it is evenly coated.
- Warm the tortillas: either microwave them for about 15‑20 seconds or place them briefly in a dry skillet until pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and divide the chicken mixture equally among them. On top of the chicken, add sautéed bell peppers and onions, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Roll up each tortilla: fold in the sides first, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito. Make sure it’s snug but not over‑stuffed.
- (Optional) Heat a clean skillet over medium heat, lightly coat with cooking spray or butter, and place each burrito seam‑side down. Grill for about 2‑3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and slightly crispy and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve hot. Let them rest a minute so they hold together better when slicing in half.
Notes
- Use a variety of bell pepper colors for visual appeal and flavour—red, green, yellow all bring something slightly different.
- Don’t overfill the burrito or it will be hard to roll and may burst when grilling—see similar caution in a related recipe. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Warm the tortilla before filling to make it pliable and easier to roll. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- If you don’t have a ranch seasoning packet, you can use about 2 tablespoons of the mix or make your own ranch blend.
- Feel free to grill the assembled burritos for extra texture—another ranch chicken burrito recipe with peppers uses that step. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
