Instructions
Preparation
- Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 15 seconds to ensure they’re soft and easier to fold.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped grilled chicken with the chipotle ranch dressing. Stir well to ensure every piece of chicken is coated.
Assembly
- Take each warm tortilla and lay it on a flat surface. Spread a generous serving of the cooked rice in the center of each tortilla.
- Add the black beans, followed by the chipotle ranch chicken mixture. Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, and corn if using.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll it from the bottom up to form a tightly sealed burrito.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wrapped burrito seam-side down. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and sealed.
Serving
- Slice each burrito in half to reveal the colorful filling inside. Serve hot with your favorite salsa or guacamole on the side.
Notes
To enhance flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lime juice and spices before grilling. Try swapping chicken for shredded beef or sautéed veggies for a vegetarian version. Incorporate additional ingredients like guacamole, jalapeños, or different types of cheese for variety.
