Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 4 flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- Sliced jalapeños (optional for added spice)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken breasts, olive oil, and ranch seasoning. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the grilled chicken into thin strips for easier wrapping.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas on the grill or in a pan for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a tablespoon of ranch dressing down the center. Add sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and jalapeños if desired.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
- Grill the Burrito (Optional): For added texture, grill the assembled burrito on the pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy.
- Garnish: Slice the burrito in half and garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
Notes
- For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Customize toppings with ingredients like guacamole, sour cream, or avocado slices.
- Add hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the marinade for extra spice.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
