Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 (8 ounces) cans of tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Cilantro (lime rice)
  • ½ tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • Avocado (Ranch Dressing)
  • 1/8 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/8 cup buttermilk
  • ½ avocado
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 (10 inches) flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Mix avocado, ranch dressing, buttermilk, salt, and sour cream together in a blender. Make sure the mixture is smooth. When needed, cover and refrigerate.
  • Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet. On one side, cook the chicken breasts for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more. 
  • To the tomato sauce mixture, add the water and bring to a boil. Until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F), reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes. 
  • To shred the chicken, place it on a cutting board and use two forks to do so. In the same pan, add the sauce and the chicken, and cook for about five more minutes.
  • Put the butter in a medium saucepan and melt it. For 1-2 minutes, add the rice and stir. You can also add salt, pepper, zest and lime juice, cilantro, and cumin to the chicken broth. 
  • Boil for a few minutes. During the last 15-16 minutes of cooking, reduce the heat, cover, and cook.  Let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes after removing it from the heat.
  • In a microwave, warm the tortillas. To prepare the tortillas, spread a thin layer of ranch dressing in the center. Place some of the chicken over the ranch, then top with some of the rice and cheddar cheese. 
  • Make sure the burrito is rolled up tightly. Continue rolling up the burritos until all of them are rolled up.
