Before there was my extremely popular Smothered Baked Chicken Burritos with Cheesy Green Chili Sour Cream Sauce there were these extremely delicious Smothered Buffalo Chicken Baked Burritos. Because every food is better when its smothered. When you smother an already delicious food with an equally or exceedingly delicious sauce, something magical happens – the delicious food becomes even more delicious as the complimentary sauce coats and blankets and slips into the nooks and crannies transforming every crevice of food into a small taste of heaven. Like Thai Pineapple Peanut Chicken Satay smothered in the most incredible pineapple peanut butter brown sugar sauce… Like Chipotle BBQ Chicken Salad smothered in the most tantalizing 5 Minute Tomatillo Avocado Ranch… Like Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs smothered in to-live-for homemade sweet, spicy, tangy barbecue sauce… Like Toffee Pecan Cake smothered in the most velvety, so-delicious-you-will-want-to-drink-it homemade caramel sauce… The list goes on and on and on… These Smothered Buffalo Chicken Baked Burritos with Creamy Lime Ranch Sauce are no exception. The chicken is first marinated in hot sauce (I use Frank’s), lime juice and an array of spices, then simmered in the bath of juiciness until tender enough to shred.
The crazy tasty shredded chicken is then combined with sauteed carrots, onions, celery, green chilies, sour cream and hot sauce for a creamy spiced filling with a huge depth of flavor (you can completely control the heat by adding less hot sauce). The burritos are then rolled, brushed with olive oil and baked until crispy golden brown, ready for the moment we have all been waiting for… The burritos are then smothered with Creamy Lime Ranch Sauce for a fresh, tangy creamy hug to to you taste buds. So good. So right. So waiting for you to make ASAP!!! Everything is better when its smothered.
