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
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro optional
- ½ cup chipotle ranch dressing
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
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.
