Description

This Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito is a delicious and satisfying meal combining tender grilled chicken, flavorful cilantro lime rice, and a zesty chipotle ranch dressing wrapped in a warm, crispy flour tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with a delightful blend of textures and tastes.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Burrito

  • 2 large flour tortillas (10 inch)
  • 2 cups cooked grilled chicken breast, sliced or chopped
  • 1 cup cooked cilantro lime rice
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup chipotle ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for grilling


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortillas and Filling: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface to prepare for assembling the burrito. Make sure all filling ingredients are ready for a smooth assembly.
  2. Assemble the Burrito: Divide the cilantro lime rice evenly between the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Layer grilled chicken, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce over the rice evenly. Drizzle the chipotle ranch dressing over the filling to add a creamy, spicy flavor.
  3. Roll the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling and roll tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
  4. Heat the Skillet or Grill Pan: Place a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter to coat the surface for grilling the burrito.
  5. Grill the Burrito: Place the burritos seam side down in the heated pan. Grill each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown, crispy, and the filling is warmed through.
  6. Serve: Remove the burritos from the pan. Optionally slice in half and serve warm for a delicious, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add sliced avocado or a spoonful of salsa inside the burrito before rolling.
  • Grilling the burrito helps seal the tortilla and gives it a crispy exterior.
  • Rotisserie chicken can be used as a quick substitute for grilled chicken for convenience.
