If you love a quick and easy dinner like I do, indeed your whole family will fall in love with this delicious Chicken Avocado Ranch Burrito! Hubby and I often look to Pinterest for new things to try. Of course all of us will burn out if we stick to the same meals all of the time. This is a huge hit at my house, something we hear no complaints about when the dreaded “What’s for dinner?” is asked! It is very simple to make and is so filling! We double the recipe and get extra-large tortillas so no side is needed! If you prefer to have regular sized burritos, re fried beans topped with cheese, and herb rice goes wonderful with it! I love my chicken burrito with More Than Muse Rose!
I realize the traditional rule is white wine with chicken, but this fabulous rose wine and the flavors of the spices on the chicken compliment each other nicely. This particular rose is my favorite of all roses, all it took was one sip and I fell in love!
What You Will Need for Chicken Burritos With Your More Than Muse Rose:
1lb. Chicken Thighs, boneless skinless, 2 Avocados, ¼ c Fresh Cilantro, ¼ c Ranch Dressing, 1 (2.5oz) pkg Taco Seasoning, 1 tbs Olive Oil, 4 Burrito Size Flour Tortillas, 1 c Mozzarella Cheese, ¼ c Sour Cream and the most important ingredient, your bottle of More Than muse Rose!
Directions:
- Heat Olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken thighs with taco seasoning. Add Chicken and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes; set aside.
- Heat tortillas according to package instructions.
- Working one at a time, place chicken, avocado, cheese, sour cream, ranch, and cilantro in the center of each tortilla. Bring the bottom edge of the tortilla tightly over the filling, folding in the sides. Continue rolling until the top of the tortilla is reached. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Heat grill pan over medium high heat. Add burritos and cook, pressing gently with a spatula, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese has melted.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!!
In addition here are a few white suggestions that I also pair with this flavorful burrito. Traditionally a fruity Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with the spicy chicken, avocado, and cilantro. These flavors enhance to flavors in the wine. However, if you choose to spice up your Chicken Avocado Ranch Burrito a bit more with some hot sauce, try a Resling to tame the flame! The cold and acidic flavors will keep your tongue from catching on fire!
I don’t always have this chicken burrito with a rose, as you can see there are many ways to look at the food and wine pairing when it comes to this delicious meal! Experiment and see!
Movie Time!
We normally sit at the dinning room table during dinner time to catch up with each other. All of us are so busy it is so nice to come together in the evening and talk about important things coming up and just to see how everyone’s day went.
On this night however we decided to sit in the living room and watch a movie while we enjoyed these delicious burritos. I love to surprise my kids occasionally by making dinner a more special or fun event. So we found a great family movie called Shrek Forever After. We all had already watched the other two Shrek movies and none of us even realized this one was out. It was GREAT! I love Cameron Diaz and Mike Meyers! Not to mention the other awesome actors, and story line. We found ourselves laughing and feeling sorry for one character or another throughout the entire movie! Of course the ending was fantastically happy!
This will most definitely not be the last fun, family, movie dinner night we enjoy together. I will forever cherish the memory of our filling chicken burritos, my favorite Red Blend, the laughter, and fun we experienced together that night.
Well, I hope you find this as easy and delicious as myself and my family do! Next time you find yourself looking for something quick, easy, and super tasty give this a try!
