📝 Ingredients:
For the Chicken Marinade:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Juice of ½ lime
For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced)
- 1 tsp lime juice
For the Burritos:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
- ½ cup black beans (optional)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- Sliced avocado (optional)
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl or ziplock bag, mix olive oil, spices, lime juice, and chicken. Let marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
2. Grill the chicken:
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (165°F/75°C). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
3. Make chipotle ranch:
In a small bowl, mix ranch, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Adjust spice to taste.
4. Assemble the burritos:
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spread a spoonful of chipotle ranch on each, then layer with rice, beans, grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado.
5. Wrap and grill:
Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Optional: grill the wrapped burritos seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
Slice in half and serve with extra chipotle ranch or salsa on the side!
