Ingredients

Scale

For the 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

  • 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

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

Step 2: Grill the Chicken

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from heat, rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

Step 3: Prepare Fillings

Warm tortillas until soft and pliable.
Heat rice and black beans if needed.

Step 4: Assemble Burritos

Lay tortilla flat and spread 1–2 tablespoons chipotle ranch dressing in the center.
Layer rice, black beans, grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn.
Sprinkle with cilantro if using.

Step 5: Wrap & Serve

Fold sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
Serve immediately or grill burritos briefly in a skillet for a crispy exterior.

Notes

  • Extra smoky flavor: Add a pinch of smoked chipotle powder to the rice.

  • Make it spicier: Drizzle with hot sauce or add sliced jalapeños.

  • Meal prep friendly: Store components separately and assemble when ready.

  • Healthier option: Use whole wheat tortillas and brown rice.
