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

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    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 and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  2. Grill the Chicken:
    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken 6–8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

  3. Prepare the Burrito Fillings:
    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft. Heat rice and black beans if needed.

  4. Assemble the Burritos:
    Spread 1–2 tablespoons chipotle ranch in the center of each tortilla. Layer rice, black beans, chicken strips, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn. Sprinkle cilantro on top.

  5. Wrap and Serve:
    Fold sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately, or grill lightly for a crispy exterior.

Notes

  • Extra flavor: Let chicken marinate for 1–2 hours for deeper smoky flavor.

  • Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or hot sauce.

  • Meal prep friendly: Wrap in foil and refrigerate. Reheat in oven or air fryer for a crispy finish.

  • Add veggies: Bell peppers, avocado, or shredded carrots work great.
