- Warm tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas until they are soft and pliable, either by warming them in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or on a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side.
- Assemble burritos: Evenly divide the chicken avocado ranch mixture among the warmed tortillas. Top each with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese to add crunch and richness.
- Fold and roll: Carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other to form compact burritos that hold the filling securely.
- Serve: Plate the burritos and serve alongside sour cream and salsa for dipping or topping, enhancing the flavor with creamy and tangy accompaniments.
