Instructions

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the chicken: Heat the grill over medium-high heat, then place the chicken on it. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Make the chipotle ranch dressing: Blend ranch dressing, chipotle peppers (if using), lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
Prepare the tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
Assemble the burrito: On each tortilla, layer rice, sliced chicken, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, cheese, lettuce, avocado, and drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing.
Roll it up: Fold the sides and roll tightly. Serve warm.

Notes

Let the chicken marinate for a full hour for the best flavor. Always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it’s cooked through.
