Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken Marinade:
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo or to taste
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • For the Burritos:
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito-size
  • 2 cups cooked rice white, brown, or cilantro-lime
  • 1 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes or pico de gallo
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro optional

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken:
  1. In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine chicken, olive oil, chipotle in adobo, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours refrigerated).
Make the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:
  1. Blend or stir together ranch dressing, chipotle peppers, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
  1. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice or chop.
Assemble the Burritos:
  1. Warm tortillas. Layer each with rice, black beans, chicken, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and a generous drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce.
Roll and Grill (Optional):
  1. Fold in sides, roll into a burrito, and grill seam-side down in a skillet or press until golden and sealed.
Serve:
  1. Slice in half and serve with extra sauce, guacamole, or tortilla chips.

Notes

No grill? Sauté or bake the chicken instead.
For extra heat, add fresh jalapeños or spicy salsa.
