# Instructions:
01 -
In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp chipotle powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp olive oil, and salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor for your Smoky Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos.
02 -
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tsp dried dill, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Stir until smooth and well combined. Set aside for assembling your Smoky Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos.
03 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
04 -
While chicken rests, warm 4 large flour tortillas according to package directions. Rinse and drain 1 (15-oz) can black beans. Thaw 1 cup frozen corn. Dice 1 large avocado. Chop 1/4 cup fresh cilantro for garnish.
05 -
After resting, slice the grilled 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips or dice into bite-sized pieces. This makes for easier assembly and ensures every bite of your Smoky Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos is packed with flavor.
06 -
Lay out each warm 4 large flour tortillas. Spread a generous amount of the Creamy Ranch Swirl down the center. Top with sliced chicken, black beans, corn, and diced avocado. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create your burritos.
07 -
Garnish the finished Smoky Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra tender chicken and even cooking, pound the 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch) before marinating.
02 -
Leftover components can be stored separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh burritos as needed.
03 -
Feel free to customize your burritos! Add cooked rice, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of extra lime juice for added zest.
04 -
Serve these burritos with a side of tortilla chips and salsa, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
