Instructions
Now that you have everything prepped, it’s time for the fun part! Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts with this mixture, allowing them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
3. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
4. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing with chipotle sauce if you prefer an extra kick.
6. Warm the Tortillas: Gently heat your tortillas in a skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
7. Assemble the Burritos: Layer a tortilla with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and a drizzle of the chipotle ranch dressing.
8. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.
9. Optional Grilling: For a crispy exterior, grill the completed burrito for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and toasted.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the burrito in half for easy handling, serve with lime wedges, and enjoy your meal!
