Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Combine olive oil, garlic, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and slice into thin strips.
- Prepare the Chipotle Ranch Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream, ranch dressing, and minced chipotle peppers. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
- Prep the Fillings: Chop lettuce, dice tomatoes, and slice avocado. Warm the black beans and corn.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat. Add a layer of chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, avocado slices, cheese, and a drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce.
- Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from one end to the other.
- Toast the Burritos: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and toast the other side.
- Serve: Slice in half or enjoy whole. Pair with chips, salsa, or guacamole for the ultimate meal!
Notes
- Customize to Your Taste: Feel free to adjust the spice level, swap proteins, or add extra toppings like guacamole or grilled vegetables to make the burrito uniquely yours.
- Master the Rolling Technique: Ensure the burrito is tightly rolled to prevent fillings from spilling out. Practice makes perfect!
- Toast for Extra Flavor: Toasting the burrito adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall flavor—don’t skip this step.
