Step 1: Grill or Reheat the Chicken

If you’re cooking chicken from scratch, season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then grill or sear until golden and cooked through. Let rest and slice or shred. You can also use leftover chicken or rotisserie to save time.

Step 2: Prepare the Chipotle Ranch Sauce

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more chipotle for heat, or lime juice for brightness.

You can also blend the sauce for an extra smooth consistency if desired.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

Heat each tortilla on a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Warm tortillas are easier to roll and less likely to tear.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

Lay the warm tortilla flat and start layering in the center:

• A scoop of rice
• A handful of grilled chicken
• A spoonful of beans
• Lettuce and cheese
• Optional: tomato, avocado
• Drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce

Be careful not to overstuff—you want to be able to roll it closed tightly.

Step 5: Fold and Grill

Fold in the sides, then roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up. Place seam-side down on a heated skillet with a touch of oil or butter. Grill over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.

Remove and let rest a minute before slicing in half and serving.
