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: 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 thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Then slice into strips.
  3. Prepare the Burrito Fillings: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Heat the black beans and cooked rice if not already warm to ensure all fillings are at an optimal temperature for assembling.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center. Add a layer of rice, followed by black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn kernels if using. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for a fresh flavor boost.
  5. Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a secure burrito. Serve immediately for a soft texture or grill the wrapped burrito lightly for a crispy exterior before serving.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavor.
  • Use brown rice for a nuttier taste and more fiber.
  • Opt for low-fat cheese to reduce calorie content.
  • Grilling the wrapped burrito adds a delicious crunch and warms the fillings evenly.
  • Customize toppings based on preference, such as adding avocado slices or sour cream.
