Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 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
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest, then slice into strips.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 10 seconds per side to soften.
- Assemble burritos by layering rice, black beans, grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, corn (if using), and cilantro (if using) on each tortilla. Drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add extra chipotle chili powder or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
- Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, wrap burritos tightly in foil and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- Customize with additional toppings like avocado, jalapeños, or sour cream.
