Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: Whisk olive oil, lime juice, spices, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and refrigerate for 20 minutes–2 hours.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook chicken 6–8 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F/74°C). Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft.
Assemble Burritos: Spread chipotle ranch in the center of each tortilla. Layer rice, beans, chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn. Sprinkle cilantro if desired.
Roll and Crisp: Fold sides inward, roll tightly from the bottom. Optional—toast burritos in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side for a golden finish.
Serve: Pair with extra Chipotle ranch or lime wedges.

Notes

Don’t overfill—keep layers even for easier rolling.

Warm tortillas prevent cracking.

For a quick sauce hack, mix ranch with hot sauce and smoked paprika.

To freeze, skip lettuce and tomatoes before wrapping.

Customize with shrimp, beef, or grilled veggies for variety.
