Making the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito is an enjoyable process. Follow these steps to create your amazing burrito:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them grill perfectly.
2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken.
4. Grill the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the chicken into thin strips. This will make it easier to roll into the burrito.
6. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave to make them pliable for wrapping.
7. Build the Burrito: On each tortilla, layer a scoop of rice, black beans, corn, sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cheese, and a drizzle of chipotle ranch dressing.
8. Wrap the Burrito: Fold the sides in and roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up. Ensure everything is tucked in securely.
9. Grill the Wrapped Burrito: For extra flavor, place the burrito seam-side down on the skillet and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
10. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top before serving, and add extra chipotle ranch for dipping if you prefer.
By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and satisfying burrito you can enjoy any day of the week!
