Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons chipotle ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (canned or thawed if frozen)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa

1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce

Optional: avocado slices and sour cream for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle ranch dressing, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. 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 grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Burrito Filling: On a large work surface, lay out the flour tortillas. In the center of each tortilla, spoon a portion of the cooked rice, black beans, corn, sliced grilled chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and fresh spinach.

        Roll the Burritos: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, making sure the filling is secured inside.

          Toast the Burritos (optional): For a crispier burrito, place it on a preheated grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

            Serve: Slice each burrito in half diagonally. Serve with avocado slices and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito!
