Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Burritos:

  • 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

  • ½ cup diced tomatoes

  • ½ cup corn kernels (optional)

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)

  • ½ cup chipotle ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. 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).

  2. Grill the Chicken

    • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

    • Grill 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Assemble the Burritos

    • Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1–2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center.

    • Layer rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn (if using).

    • Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for added freshness.

  5. 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.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.

  • Add avocado slices or pickled jalapeños for a creamy or spicy twist.

  • Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier version.

  • Leftovers can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days—reheat in a skillet or oven for a crispy finish.
