Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat and add the buffalo sauce. Stir to combine, then add the shredded chicken and toss until well coated in the sauce.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos by spreading a layer of cooked white rice (about a 1/4 cup per tortilla) in the center of each tortilla.

Step 7

Add a generous portion of the buffalo chicken, then top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 9

Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos seam-side down for 1-2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side for added texture.

Step 10

Serve warm with extra ranch dressing or buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
