Instructions

  • Marinate & Grill the Chicken:

    • In a bowl, mix olive oil, chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
    • Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes (or overnight for extra flavor).
    • Grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 165°F (75°C).
    • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  • Make the Chipotle Ranch Dressing:

    • In a bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, lime juice, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, smoked paprika, and honey.
    • Add milk if needed to thin it to your desired consistency.
  • Assemble the Burritos:

    • Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave.
    • Spread a generous drizzle of chipotle ranch on each tortilla.
    • Layer with rice, black beans, lettuce, grilled chicken, cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
    • Drizzle with extra chipotle ranch.

 

  • Wrap & Serve:

    • Fold the sides in and roll tightly into a burrito.
    • Optional: Toast in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side for a crispy finish.
    • Slice in half and enjoy!
