Fresh lime juice

Chipotle chili powder or adobo sauce

Smoked paprika

Ground cumin

Salt and black pepper

For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:

For the Burrito Filling:

Cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro-lime rice)

Fresh chopped tomatoes

Diced red onion

Fresh cilantro leaves

Jalapeño slices or green chili (optional)

Lettuce or spinach (optional)

Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)

Sliced avocado or guacamole

Large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lime juice, chipotle chili powder (or adobo sauce), smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Coat chicken evenly in the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  4. For the chipotle ranch sauce, blend ranch dressing, chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust heat to taste.
  5. To assemble burritos, warm tortillas and spread a spoonful of chipotle ranch sauce in the center.
  6. Add a layer of rice, grilled chicken, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lettuce or spinach, cheese, and avocado or guacamole.
  7. Drizzle with extra chipotle ranch, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
  8. For a toasted finish, grill or pan-toast burritos for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

Notes

Marinate chicken longer for deeper flavor.

Warm tortillas before wrapping to prevent tearing.

For extra heat, add more chipotle peppers or a dash of hot sauce.

Make it a burrito bowl by skipping the tortilla.

Use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
