You are going to love how fast you can get dinner on the table with these no-fuss Salsa Ranch Shredded Chicken Burritos! You can make the shredded chicken early in a slow cooker or right away in an Instant Pot. The burritos by themselves are just 3 MyWW Blue and purple points or 4 Green points each, and then the recipe gives instructions on how to make Ranch dressing to dip carrots in as an extra bonus.
These burritos can be made into lettuce wraps.
It’s no secret…I am on a tortilla kick now that I know how good the Olé Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb 8 inch Wraps are. If you have been following me for more than a week, you have heard me talk about them. If you are not into tortillas, you can always make these into lettuce wraps. In fact, this recipe would taste fantastic as a lettuce wrap, so even if you love tortillas, you may want to give a lettuce wrap a try.
Carrots as a side.
This recipe assumes you will be eating carrots on the side. This can be optional though, since carrots are not one of the ingredients in the burritos. I added the carrots to the recipe because there was extra Ranch seasoning, and I didn’t want it to go to waste. Plus, it’s just healthier to add veggies on the side when you can.
Ready to make some yummy chicken burritos? Great!
Here is what you need:
1 cup salsa
1/4 cup water
1 (1 ounce) packet Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons fat-free milk, optional for Ranch dipping dressing
4 tablespoons light mayonnaise, optional for Ranch dipping dressing
8 Olé Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb 8 inch Wraps
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cups crinkle cut carrots (or more)
Here is what you do:
Mix salsa, water, and 2 tablespoons Ranch dressing mix in an Instant Pot or slow cooker.
Add chicken and cook 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on low in slow cooker. Alternatively, you can cook on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes in an Instant Pot, and then quick release the pressure after it is done cooking.
Meanwhile, mix milk, mayonnaise, and remaining Ranch dressing mix. (This makes the Ranch dressing to dip the carrots in and is an optional step for those who like Ranch dressing. If you won’t be making the Ranch dipping sauce, you can just discard the rest of the Ranch packet mix.)
When the chicken is done cooking, carefully take the chicken breasts out of the Instant Pot or slow cooker and shred the the chicken with two forks. Mix shredded chicken back in with the salsa mixture.
Spoons 1/3 cup of the chicken onto each tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon feta cheese. Serve each burrito with 1 tablespoon Ranch dipping sauce and 1/4 cup carrots.
Makes 8 servings.
One serving is 1 burrito, 1 tablespoon Ranch dipping sauce, 1 tablespoon feta cheese, and 1/4 cup carrots.
One serving is 4 Green, 3 Blue, and 3 Purple points.
