Ingredients
  

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

Burritos

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup corn kernels optional

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 the chicken breasts in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

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.

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.

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.

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.
