Ingredients
  

For The Marinade

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 2 cup Water
  • 1/3 cup Soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp White vinegar distilled
  • 1 tbsp Ground chipotle pepper
  • 2 tsp Hickory smoke flavouring
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper

For The Mexi-Ranch Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Onion minced
  • 2 tbsp Tomato diced
  • 1 tbsp Buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp White vinegar distilled
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro minced
  • 1 tsp Green chile pepper canned
  • 3/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 pinch Dried dill weed
  • 1 pinch Cumin
  • 1 pinch Cayenne pepper

Pico de Gallo

  • 2 Medium tomatoes diced
  • 1/3 cup Red onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 2 tsp Lime juice
  • 2 tsp Fresh cilantro minced
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 4 Large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese fancy
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey jack cheese fancy
  • 4 cups Shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions
 

  • For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix for 2 hours. Once the sugar is dissolved, stir well. Place four chicken breasts in the marinade, cover, and chill for two hours. The chicken shouldn’t be marinated for longer than 2 hours or it might become tough.
  • To make the dipping sauce, add all the ingredients to a medium bowl. Combine well, then chill. This will allow the flavours to develop beautifully while kept in the refrigerator.
  • In order to prepare pico de gallo, combine all of the ingredients, then cover and chill it.
  • Prepare the grill for medium/high heat when you’re ready to make the roll-ups. Place the chicken breast over the grill for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through.
  • To assemble each roll-up, heat a large skillet over low heat and lay a large flour tortilla on top. While the tortilla is heating, sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture on top.
  • Remove the tortilla from the pan when the cheese begins to melt. Place about 1 cup of shredded lettuce in a strip across the centre of the tortilla, followed by approximately 3 tablespoons of pico de gallo.
  • On top of the lettuce, arrange a grilled chicken breast sliced into bite-sized chunks. To roll the tortilla, fold over the ends of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up. Serve the roll-up with the dipping sauce on the side and cross the centre diagonally.
