Equipment

  • Grill
  • Skillet
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste

For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce adjust for spice level
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed

For the Burritos

  • 4 pieces large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked rice white, brown, or cilantro lime rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar and Monterey Jack blend
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 sliced avocado
  • 1/2 cup black beans optional

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest before slicing into thin strips.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine mayo, sour cream, chipotle peppers, ranch seasoning, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Lay a large tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of chipotle ranch sauce in the center. Add a scoop of rice, grilled chicken slices, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and avocado. If using black beans, sprinkle them on now.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the burrito seam-side down until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.

Notes

For a spicier burrito, add extra chipotle peppers. If meal prepping, store ingredients separately and assemble fresh.
