Learn how to make delicious Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito Recipe. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked white or brown rice
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing
4 large flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the other fillings. Cook the rice according to package instructions. In a saucepan, warm the black beans and corn over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable. This step brings back memories of helping my abuela with her homemade tortillas, where each flip was a chance to learn and bond.
Assemble the burritos by placing a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of chipotle ranch dressing in the center, then layer with rice, black beans, corn, grilled chicken strips, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the burritos warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for that extra zing. This final touch always reminds me of the fresh herbs my mom would pick from her garden, infusing every dish with a burst of freshness.
