Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup chipotle ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked brown rice or cilantro lime rice

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn, fresh or frozen

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup chopped lettuce

1 medium tomato, diced

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with ½ cup of chipotle ranch dressing, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any unused marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Burrito Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and remaining ½ cup of chipotle ranch dressing. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

        Assemble the Burritos: Lay a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous portion of the rice and bean mixture in the center, topped with sliced grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and avocado.

          Wrap the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Optional - Grill the Burritos: For a crispier exterior, you can place the assembled burritos back on the grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.

              Serve: Slice the burritos in half and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with additional chipotle ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
