Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup ranch dressing (for the ranch chicken wrap)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, sour cream, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced chipotle peppers, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or container, pour marinade over, coat all pieces, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. Grill the chicken: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice into strips.
  4. Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat, spread ranch dressing, add chicken strips, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Add optional toppings like jalapeños or cilantro.
  5. Roll: Fold sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom. For a crispy finish, grill the assembled burrito slightly.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken longer or overnight.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
  • To keep the burritos from falling apart, wrap tightly and consider securing with a toothpick.
