Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together the minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, coat evenly, and let rest 15 minutes (or refrigerate up to 2 hours).
Grill or Sear the Chicken
- Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165 °F and exterior is golden brown. Remove and let rest 5 minutes, then slice or shred.
Warm Tortillas
- Heat each flour tortilla on a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Keep warm.
Prepare Fillings
- Warm black beans in a small saucepan or microwave. In a small bowl, stir together ranch dressing and chipotle sauce (or use separately).
Assemble Burritos
- Lay a warm tortilla flat.
- Spoon ¼ cup black beans down the center.
- Add 3–4 oz sliced/shredded chicken.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded cheese.
- Top with ½ cup lettuce and ¼ cup diced tomato.
- Drizzle 1–2 tbsp chipotle-ranch mixture.
- Add optional tortilla strips or avocado.
Roll and Crisp
- Fold the bottom up, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly seam-side down. Place on skillet or grill for 1–2 minutes to seal and crisp the exterior.
Serve
- Slice in half if desired and serve immediately with extra chipotle ranch sauce or lime wedges.
