# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6–8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 74°C. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
03 -
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Heat the black beans and cooked rice until hot, if prepared in advance.
04 -
Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1–2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the centre. Layer with rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn if using. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
05 -
Fold both sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Serve immediately, or grill the wrapped burritos for a crisp exterior if preferred.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Allow the grilled chicken to rest before slicing to retain its natural juices.
02 -
Lightly toasting the wrapped burrito in a hot skillet enhances texture and flavor.
