Equipment

air fryer

Ingredients

2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup Franks RedHot Sauce
1 packet Dry Ranch Seasoning
1 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
4 large burrito size flour tortillas

Seasonings

salt and pepper
paprika
garlic powder

Instructions

Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Place seasoned chicken thighs into the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes on Air Crisp at 375 degrees. Let cool slightly and remove from the air fryer.
Cut chicken into small pieces and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, hot sauce, and dry ranch seasoning. Blend cottage cheese mixture until smooth.
Combine cheese mixture with cooked chicken and mix well.
Divide chicken mixture into 4-6 servings and place each on one warm tortilla.
Top with shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Wrap a large tortilla into a burrito and place it into a hot skillet, cooking on both sides until the tortilla is browned. Serve immediately.

Notes

Adjust hot sauce and dry ranch seasoning for a bold depth of flavor by combining hot sauce/ranch dressing sauce instead. We recommend Franks RedHot Buffalo N Ranch.

If your family prefers a slightly less spicy take on this chicken recipe, try a medium buffalo wing sauce.

Substitute the cottage cheese (a healthier take) with Spanish rice or black beans.
