# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully blended.
02 -
Place chicken breasts into the marinade, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
03 -
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
04 -
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. If needed, heat rice and black beans until hot.
05 -
Lay each tortilla flat. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing along the center of each tortilla. Add rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn if using. Top with chopped cilantro for freshness.
06 -
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Serve immediately or grill the burritos lightly for a crisp exterior as desired.
