05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1 teaspoon cumin
09 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ For the Burritos

10 - 4 large flour tortillas
11 - 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
12 - 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
13 - 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
14 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
15 - 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
16 - 1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)
17 - 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
18 - 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
02 - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
03 - Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Heat the black beans and rice if they are not already warm.
04 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1-2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center. Add a layer of rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn (if using). Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for added freshness.
05 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Serve immediately or lightly grill the wrapped burrito for a crispy exterior.

# Notes:

01 - Longer marination time (up to 2 hours) enhances flavor
02 - Can briefly grill the wrapped burrito for a crispy exterior
03 - Corn and cilantro are optional ingredients
04 - Either white or brown rice can be used
