Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts, rub evenly, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Bake the seasoned chicken on the prepared baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  4. While chicken is baking, mash avocados with lime juice in a bowl, leaving some small chunks.
  5. Combine ranch dressing and sour cream in another bowl until smooth and creamy.
  6. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces once it has finished baking.
  7. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
  8. On each tortilla, spread the ranch and sour cream mixture, then add shredded chicken and avocado.
  9. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
  10. Roll the burritos tightly, folding in the sides and sealing everything inside.
  11. For optional crisping, place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat until edges are golden brown.
  12. Serve warm, optionally with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
