Can I make these Easy Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos ahead of time for a party?

Absolutely! Grill the chicken and prepare all components up to 24 hours ahead. For best results, store everything separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before serving. You can also pre-roll the burritos (without lettuce and tomato), wrap in foil, and warm in a 300°F oven for 15 minutes when ready to serve.

How spicy is the chipotle ranch seasoning?

The recipe as written has a medium heat level. For a milder version, reduce the chipotle powder to 1 teaspoon. For extra kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of grilling my own?

Yes! This is a great shortcut. Simply shred about 2 cups of rotisserie chicken and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the chipotle ranch seasoning. Heat in a skillet for 2-3 minutes until warm and well-coated with seasonings.

What's the best way to pack these for lunch?

For meal prep lunches, wrap assembled burritos (without lettuce and tomato) tightly in parchment paper, then foil. Pack lettuce and tomato separately. Microwave the burrito for 1-2 minutes, then add fresh toppings. Alternatively, check out our guide on Perfect Packed Lunches for more tips.

Can I make these into bowls instead of burritos?

Definitely! Simply layer all ingredients in a bowl starting with rice and beans, then add the chipotle ranch chicken and toppings. This makes a great low-carb option if you substitute cauliflower rice.

Category: Burritos
Method: Grilling
Cuisine: Mexican-Inspired

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chipotle ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1 large tomato, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

In a bowl, mix olive oil and chipotle ranch seasoning. Coat chicken breasts and let sit 5 minutes (or marinate up to 24 hours).
Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side until 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Layer each tortilla with rice, beans, grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and cilantro.
Fold sides in, then roll up from the bottom. Grill seam-side down for 1–2 minutes for a crisp finish, if desired.

Notes

Swap chicken for tofu or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter twist. To make it low-carb, sub the tortilla and rice with lettuce wraps and cauliflower rice.
