Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

2 large flour tortillas
  • 2 medium chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chipotle ranch sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 75°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Lightly heat the flour tortillas on a dry pan for 30 seconds per side to make them pliable.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add rice, black beans, sliced grilled chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce.
  5. Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up.
  6. Grill the Burritos: Heat a clean pan over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half and serve warm with extra chipotle ranch sauce on the side.

Notes

  • You can substitute grilled chicken with shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Add sliced avocado or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, mix extra chipotle peppers into the ranch sauce.
