Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)


Instructions

Making the perfect Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito involves these clear steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: Combine the chicken breasts with chipotle ranch dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Preheat Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

3. Grill Chicken: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken on it. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.

5. Slice Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips for easy assembly.

6. Warm Tortillas: If desired, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side until flexible.

7. Assemble Burritos: On each tortilla, layer the grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced olives, and cilantro.

8. Wrap Burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll them up tightly from the bottom to the top.

9. Optional Grilling: For added texture, grill the burritos seam-side down for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

10. Serve: Cut the burritos in half and serve immediately with extra chipotle ranch dressing on the side.

These straightforward steps will guide you to create a delicious meal in no time!
