For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce (or to taste)

  • 1 tsp lime juice

  • Optional: 1 tbsp sour cream for extra creaminess

For the Burrito Filling:

Instructions

1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken:

  • Mix olive oil, chipotle, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice.

  • Coat chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).

  • Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked (165°F internal temp).

  • Rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips or bite-sized chunks.

2. Make Chipotle Ranch Sauce:

  • Whisk ranch dressing, chipotle sauce, and lime juice until smooth.

  • Adjust heat with more chipotle if you want it spicier.

3. Assemble the Burritos:

  • Warm tortillas until pliable.

  • Layer rice, beans, grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and any extras you like.

  • Drizzle generously with chipotle ranch sauce.

  • Fold in the sides, roll tightly into a burrito.

4. Grill the Burritos (Optional but Recommended):

  • Heat a dry skillet or pan over medium heat.

  • Place burritos seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
