No reviews

A smoky, creamy grilled chicken burrito filled with chipotle ranch-marinated chicken, rice, beans, and cheese—all wrapped in a warm tortilla for a hearty, flavor-packed meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 burritos

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup black beans (canned or cooked)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional add-ins: avocado slices, salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, chopped chipotle peppers, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred. Let rest, then slice into strips.
  4. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  5. In the center of each tortilla, layer rice, black beans, grilled chicken slices, shredded cheese, and a drizzle of chipotle ranch.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll up into burritos.
  7. Optional: Grill the burritos seam-side down in a skillet for a few minutes until crispy and sealed.
  8. Serve immediately with additional chipotle ranch or toppings as desired.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Swap chicken with grilled steak, shrimp, or roasted veggies for variation.
  • Try a Greek yogurt chipotle sauce for a lighter option.
  • Wrap in lettuce leaves for a low-carb version.
  • Bake burritos at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes instead of grilling.
