Crispy Chicken Bell Pepper Ranch Burritos
Delicious burritos filled with crispy chicken, sautéed bell peppers, onions, and ranch dressing, all wrapped in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Crispy Chicken Tenders (or crispy tofu/tempeh for a vegetarian option)
- 2 cups Bell Peppers (various colors) Like red, green, and yellow.
- 1 medium Red Onion (or green onions for a milder flavor)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or pepper jack for a spicy kick)
- 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 large Flour Tortillas (or whole wheat/corn tortillas for a healthier option)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or Butter Optional for sautéing.
Instructions
Preparation
- If using crispy chicken tenders, make sure they are warm. If using tofu or tempeh, cook according to instructions until crispy and nicely browned.
- Slice the bell peppers and red onion into thin strips.
Sautéing
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet still a bit crunchy.
Assembly
- Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface, layer with crispy chicken (or tofu/tempeh), sautéed vegetables, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll it tightly from the bottom up to prevent any fillings from spilling out.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and toast on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve sliced in half with additional ranch for dipping or alongside salad, salsa, or guacamole.
