Print Recipe

The Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito is bold, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. Tender grilled chicken is marinated with zesty lime and warm spices, then layered with fluffy rice, hearty beans, crisp veggies, melty cheese, and a creamy chipotle ranch sauce — all wrapped in a soft tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Burritos

  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice

  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)

  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

  • 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Coat the chicken well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Grill the Chicken

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grill chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

3. Prepare the Fillings

Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Heat rice and beans if needed.

4. Assemble the Burritos

Spread 1–2 tablespoons chipotle ranch dressing down the center of each tortilla.

Layer with:

  • Rice

  • Beans

  • Grilled chicken

  • Cheese

  • Lettuce

  • Tomatoes

  • Corn and cilantro (optional)

5. Wrap & Serve

Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal.

Serve immediately or place seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to lightly toast and crisp.

Notes

✔ Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy
✔ Warm tortillas to prevent cracking
✔ Don’t overfill or wrapping becomes tricky
✔ Make it spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce
✔ Great for meal prep — wrap in foil and refrigerate up to 3 days
