kcalIngredients
2 chicken breasts, sliced into tenders
2 cups crushed Doritos (any flavor you like – Nacho Cheese is classic)
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
Salt & pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Tex-Mex blend)
1 cup chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
Directions
- Prep the chicken: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour (seasoned with salt & pepper), beaten egg, and crushed Doritos.
- Bread the tenders: Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then egg, then coat well in crushed Doritos.
- Bake: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
- Build the burritos: Warm tortillas slightly to make them flexible. Spread ranch dressing in the center of each. Add lettuce, tomato, a generous handful of shredded cheese, and 2–3 Doritos chicken tenders.
- Wrap and serve: Fold in the sides and roll into a burrito. Optional: pan-sear the wrapped burrito in a dry skillet for extra crisp edges.
