Instructions
Creating the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito is easy. Follow these simple steps to bring your delicious burrito to life:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its juices.
4. Prepare the Filling: While the chicken is resting, prepare your other ingredients by washing and chopping the lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
5. Assemble the Burrito: Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Layer with sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing.
6. Wrap the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Ensure all fillings are secure inside.
7. Grill the Burrito: If desired, return the burrito to the grill for a minute on each side to heat through and achieve grill marks.
8. Serve: Cut the burrito in half on a diagonal for a gorgeous presentation.
These steps bring you to the point of enjoying your homemade Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito, bursting with flavors that will tantalize your taste buds!
