# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 -
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 74°C. Remove from the heat and rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
03 -
Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Ensure rice and black beans are heated through if needed.
04 -
Lay each tortilla flat. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center, then layer with rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn if using. Top with fresh cilantro, if desired.
05 -
Fold the sides of each tortilla slightly inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Serve immediately, or grill the wrapped burritos in a hot dry pan for a crisp exterior, if preferred.

Allowing the chicken to marinate longer intensifies flavor; grilling finished burritos produces a pleasing crunchy texture.
