Spices and Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt

Filling and Accompaniments:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) ranch dressing
  • 1 cup (240 ml) shredded lettuce

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) sliced red onions
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cooked rice (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) black beans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Craft a vibrant marinade by blending chipotle peppers, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and olive oil in a mixing bowl.
  2. Thoroughly coat chicken breasts with the marinade and allow flavors to meld for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet to medium heat (around 375°F).
  4. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin, uniform strips.
  6. Warm tortillas slightly to enhance flexibility.
  7. Spread ranch dressing evenly across each tortilla.
  8. Layer sliced chicken, crisp lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and thinly sliced red onions.
  9. Optional: Add rice or black beans for extra substance.
  10. Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly into a compact burrito.
  11. Grill burrito on medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until exterior turns golden and crispy.
  12. Cut diagonally and serve immediately with additional ranch dressing or zesty salsa.

Notes

  • Customize the heat level by reducing or increasing the amount of chipotle in adobo sauce based on personal spice tolerance.
  • Swap chicken with tofu, shrimp, or plant-based protein for vegetarian or diverse dietary needs.
  • For deeper flavor, marinate chicken overnight in the refrigerator to allow spices to fully penetrate the meat.
  • Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to create a more nutritious version of the burrito without compromising taste.
