Step 1: Marinate Chicken

Mix olive oil, chipotle seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

Step 2: Grill

Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Step 3: Make Sauce

Stir ranch, chipotle sauce, and lime juice together until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble Burritos

Warm tortillas slightly. Layer rice, beans, grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and drizzle with chipotle ranch.

Fold sides inward and roll tightly.

Step 5: Optional Grill Finish

Place wrapped burritos seam-side down on grill for 1–2 minutes per side for crispy exterior.

Serve warm.

⭐ Tips for the Best Burritos

  • Add avocado or guacamole for creaminess
  • Swap rice for cauliflower rice for low-carb
  • Wrap tightly in foil for easy serving

❄️ Storage

Wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in skillet or oven for best texture.
