Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chipotle powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tbsp chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 large tortilla wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Optional toppings: sliced avocado, sour cream, salsa
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a grill pan or on an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and grill marks appear. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the ranch dressing and chipotle sauce. Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce to your taste.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay out the tortilla wraps. Spread a generous amount of the chipotle ranch sauce on each wrap. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced chicken, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
- Roll the Burrito: Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up.
- Serve: Cut the burrito in half and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Marinate the Chicken: For even more flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture and a bit of olive oil for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Adjust the Heat: Taste the chipotle ranch sauce as you mix it and adjust the amount of chipotle sauce to your liking. You can always add more heat later.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortilla wraps in the microwave or on the stovetop for a few seconds to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to add extra vegetables like sliced bell peppers, onions, or even a handful of spinach for added nutrition.
