Instructions
Creating your Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well and add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
3. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about five minutes. Then, slice the chicken into strips.
4. Warm the Tortillas: On a separate skillet or open flame, warm the flour tortillas until they are heated through and pliable. This makes it easier to wrap the burrito.
5. Assemble the Burrito: Lay each tortilla flat and start layering with sliced chicken, cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing for a burst of flavor.
6. Wrap the Burrito: To wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a tight burrito. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Optional – Grill the Burritos: For a crispy exterior, place the wrapped burritos back on the grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
8. Serve: Slice the burritos in half for easy eating, and serve with additional chipotle ranch dressing, avocado slices, and lime wedges.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to create a Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito that is bursting with flavors and delightfully satisfying!
