Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F). Let it rest for a few minutes, then dice.
- Prepare the Chipotle Ranch Sauce: In a small bowl, mix ranch dressing, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay out a tortilla and spread a spoonful of rice, black beans, diced grilled chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. Drizzle with chipotle ranch sauce and add sour cream if desired.
- Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
- Grill the Burritos: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Slice in half and enjoy with extra chipotle ranch sauce or salsa.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
