Learn how to make delicious Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder (or more, to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked rice (brown or white)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional: Lime wedges for garnish

Feel free to substitute the chipotle powder with canned chipotle in adobo sauce for an extra depth of flavor, or swap the cheddar cheese for your favorite melting cheese.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chipotle powder. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides.
  3. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. I love using a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  4. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas either on the grill for a few seconds or in a microwave. This makes them pliable and easier to roll.
  5. Lay out each tortilla and spread a spoonful of ranch dressing in the center. Layer with rice, black beans, corn, sliced chicken, and cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro for that fresh, herby kick.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. You can return it to the grill or a hot pan for a few seconds to crisp up the exterior, ensuring a delightful crunch with each bite.

These steps may seem simple, but they encapsulate the joy of cooking—much like how my abuela taught me to follow my senses and savor the process.
