• Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
  
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This ensures proper browning.
• In a small bowl, combine the taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.

Tip:

• Don't skip the resting time! This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist, flavorful chicken.
• Step 2: Prepare the Enhanced Ranch
  
• In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and cumin.
• Whisk until well incorporated.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.

Tip:

• Make the enhanced ranch a day ahead to allow flavors to develop fully.
• Step 3: Prepare the Avocados
  
• Cut avocados in half and remove the pit.
• Scoop out the flesh and slice into thin strips.
• Sprinkle with a little lime juice to prevent browning if not using immediately.

Tip:

• Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for perfect ripeness.
• Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
  
• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
• Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
• Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the enhanced ranch down the center.
• Top with approximately ¼ cup of chopped chicken.
• Add ⅓ of an avocado in slices.
• Sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded cheese.
• Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
• Drizzle with another tablespoon of the enhanced ranch.
• Step 5: Roll the Burritos
  
• Fold in the sides of the tortilla.
• Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the tortilla up and over the filling.
• Continue rolling until the burrito is sealed.
• For extra crispiness (optional), place the rolled burrito seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.

Tip:

• For easier rolling, don't overfill your burrito, and place ingredients in the center third of the tortilla.
