Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (use fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup chipotle ranch dressing

4 large flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinieren Sie das Hähnchen: In einer kleinen Schüssel die Olivenöl, chipotle Chili-Pulver, Knoblauchpulver, Zwiebelpulver, Salz und Pfeffer gut vermengen. Bestreichen Sie die Hähnchenbrüste gleichmäßig mit der Marinade und lassen Sie sie mindestens 30 Minuten ruhen, damit sich die Aromen entfalten können.

    Grillen Sie das Hähnchen: Heizen Sie Ihren Grill auf mittelhohe Hitze vor. Grillen Sie die marinierten Hähnchenbrüste etwa 6-7 Minuten auf jeder Seite oder bis sie durchgegart sind und der Saft klar austritt. Nehmen Sie das Hähnchen vom Grill und lassen Sie es 5 Minuten ruhen, bevor Sie es in Scheiben schneiden.

      Bereiten Sie die Burrito-Füllung vor: In einer großen Schüssel die gekochten braunen Reis, schwarzen Bohnen, Mais und den gehackten Koriander gut vermengen, bis alles gleichmäßig verteilt ist.

        Bauen Sie den Burrito zusammen: Legen Sie eine große Tortilla auf eine flache Oberfläche. Geben Sie eine Portion der Reis- und Bohnenmischung in die Mitte, gefolgt von einigen Scheiben des gegrillten Hähnchens. Toppen Sie es mit dem geriebenen Cheddar-Käse und den Avocadoscheiben. Beträufeln Sie die Füllung mit der Chipotle-Ranch-Dressing.

          Wickeln Sie den Burrito: Falten Sie die Seiten der Tortilla über die Füllung und rollen Sie sie von unten nach oben fest ein, um sicherzustellen, dass die Füllung gut eingepackt ist.

            Toasten Sie den Burrito: Erhitzen Sie eine Pfanne bei mittlerer Hitze. Legen Sie den Burrito mit der Naht nach unten in die Pfanne und toasten Sie ihn 2-3 Minuten lang, bis er goldbraun ist. Wenden Sie den Burrito und toasten Sie die andere Seite ebenfalls für weitere 2-3 Minuten.

              Servieren: Schneiden Sie den Burrito diagonal in zwei Hälften und servieren Sie ihn mit zusätzlichem Chipotle-Ranch-Dressing zum Dippen. Garnieren Sie das Gericht mit frischem Koriander.
