Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • ½ cup chipotle ranch dressing store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Burritos:

  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito-sized
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ cup sour cream optional
  • ½ cup salsa your choice of mild, medium, or hot!

Instructions
 

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  • The key to juicy, flavorful chicken is in the marinade. To start, grab a bowl and mix the chipotle ranch dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place your chicken breasts into the bowl, making sure they’re fully coated. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (though I prefer to marinate it overnight for even more flavor).

Step 2: Grill the Chicken

  • Once the chicken has marinated, it’s time to fire up the grill. Heat it to medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. The chipotle ranch marinade will give it a beautiful smoky flavor, and the grill marks will add a nice char.
  • Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

  • Now comes the fun part—assembling your burrito! Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, add a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by a generous portion of the grilled chicken strips. Then, top it off with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, red onions, and fresh cilantro.
  • If you’re a fan of sour cream or salsa (who isn’t?), spread a little bit on top for extra creaminess and flavor. Now, fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to create your burrito.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito

  • That’s it! You now have a delicious, homemade Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito that’s ready to enjoy. Whether you’re digging into it right away or wrapping it up for a meal later, you’re in for a real treat.
