Ingredients
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- Ranch dressing homemade or store-bought
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Olive oil
- Fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper
- Large flour tortillas
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Cooked rice optional

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chipotle ranch dressing and chicken breasts. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay the grilled chicken slices on a tortilla. Add a generous portion of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and red onions.
- Wrap the Burrito: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
- Toast the Burrito (Optional): For an added crunch, toast the wrapped burrito in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
