Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Burrito:
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup cooked white or brown rice
1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Coat chicken breasts in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Grill the Chicken:
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Prepare the Fillings:
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Heat rice and black beans if needed.
Assemble the Burritos:
Lay tortillas flat. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center.
Layer with rice, beans, grilled chicken strips, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, corn (if using), and cilantro.
Wrap and Serve:
Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom to seal the burrito.
Serve as is, or lightly grill the wrapped burrito for extra crispness.
Notes
For extra flavor, grill the burrito after wrapping to get a crisp, golden exterior.
Swap chipotle ranch for regular ranch or Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
Add avocado or hot sauce to customize your burrito.
Burritos can be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days—great for meal prep!
