Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Marinade

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing

Burrito Fillings

4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat them well with the chipotle ranch dressing. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each side for 6-7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
Rest and Chop: Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then chop it into bite-sized pieces suitable for burrito filling.
Assemble Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas and evenly distribute the chopped chicken on each. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of additional chipotle ranch dressing, then add a dollop of sour cream.
Roll Burritos: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings securely. Slice each burrito in half diagonally before serving for easier handling.

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer for more intense flavor — up to 4 hours.
For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce inside the burrito.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as a healthier alternative if desired.
Grill vegetables like bell peppers or onions alongside the chicken for added texture and flavor.
Leftover grilled chicken holds well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
