Instructions

Step 1: Marinate and Grill the Chicken

  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  • Coat the chicken breasts evenly and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
  • Heat a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
  • Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 2: Make the Chipotle Ranch Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, lime juice, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and salt.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3: Prepare the Cilantro-Lime Rice

  • Cook white or brown rice according to package instructions.
  • Once cooked, stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

  • Lay a large flour tortilla on a clean surface.
  • Spread ¼ of the rice, black beans, grilled chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and cilantro in the center.
  • Drizzle with chipotle ranch sauce.

Step 5: Grill the Burritos

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
  • Place the burrito seam-side down and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
