Ingredients
Scale
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 ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
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 fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken Marinade: Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Marinate Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Grill Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- Prepare Fillings: Warm the flour tortillas until flexible, using a dry skillet or microwave. Heat black beans and rice if not already warm.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center. Layer with rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn if using. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately, or place seam-side down on a hot skillet to grill lightly for a crisp exterior.
