# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Buttermilk, 1 tbsp Chipotle in adobo sauce (plus 1/2 adobo pepper, minced), 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice, 1/2 tsp Garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Onion powder, 1/2 tsp Dried dill, and salt and pepper to taste. This forms the flavorful base for your Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos | Meal Prep.
02 -
Add 1 1/2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the prepared marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken for your Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos.
03 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before dicing it into bite-sized pieces.
04 -
While the chicken rests, prepare your burrito fillings. Have 2 cups Cooked brown rice, 1 (15-oz) can Black beans (rinsed and drained), 3/4 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped), 1/4 cup Red onion (finely diced), and 1 large Avocado (diced) ready for assembly.
05 -
Warm 4 Large (10-inch) flour tortillas according to package directions. Lay each tortilla flat and layer with a portion of the cooked brown rice, black beans, diced grilled chicken, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, red onion, and diced avocado.
06 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up to create your Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos | Meal Prep. Serve immediately, or prepare for meal prepping by wrapping tightly for later enjoyment.
# Notes:
01 -
For meal prep, wrap burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a microwave or oven.
02 -
Adjust the amount of chipotle in adobo sauce to your preferred spice level. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
03 -
To make this vegetarian, substitute the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese, seasoned tofu, or extra black beans and corn.
04 -
Serve these burritos with a side of extra lime wedges, a dollop of sour cream, or a fresh salsa for added zest.
