A flavorful and easy-to-make Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh veggies, black beans, rice, and a zesty chipotle ranch dressing wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale

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 Burritos:

  • 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
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup corn kernels (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • ½ cup chipotle ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. 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 the chicken breasts in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. Prepare the Burrito Fillings: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Heat the black beans and rice if they are not already warm.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1-2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center. Add a layer of rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn (if using). Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for added freshness.
  5. Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Serve immediately or lightly grill the wrapped burrito for a crispy exterior.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for longer (up to 2 hours) for richer flavor.
  • Use brown rice for a whole grain option.
  • Can substitute corn tortillas for a gluten-free version if desired.
  • Add avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess.
  • Lightly grilling the wrapped burrito adds a nice crispy texture.
  • Adjust chipotle chili powder quantity to control spice level.
