Instructions
Creating the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by preheating your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
3. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This step keeps the meat juicy.
4. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips.
5. Prepare the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
6. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Add a few slices of grilled chicken down the center of the tortilla.
7. Add Toppings: Top with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, corn, black beans, and a generous drizzle of chipotle ranch dressing.
8. Fold the Burrito: To wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it tightly from the bottom up.
9. Cook the Burrito (optional): For a crispy exterior, return the burrito to the grill or skillet for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the burrito in half, garnish with cilantro, if desired, and serve while warm.
