Method
- Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined. Place chicken breasts in the marinade, turning to coat completely, then cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. The chicken should have nice grill marks and feel firm to the touch.
- Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing - this keeps all those juices locked in. Slice against the grain into ½-inch strips for tender bites.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15-20 seconds until pliable. Heat black beans and rice if they're not already warm.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1-2 tablespoons chipotle ranch down the center. Layer with rice, black beans, sliced chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn if using. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a secure burrito. For extra crispiness, lightly grill the wrapped burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes.
Notes
Store assembled burritos wrapped in aluminum foil in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. Marinade chicken longer for deeper flavor. Adjust chipotle level for desired heat.
