Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Juice of 1 lime

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1–2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder or 1 tablespoon adobo sauce

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:

• ½ cup ranch dressing

• 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Burrito:

• 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)

• 4 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded

• 1½ cups Roma tomatoes, diced

• 1 lb grilled chicken (cubed or sliced)

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 3 oz crunchy tortilla strips

Directions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let them sit for at least 10–15 minutes.

2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

3. Prepare the Chipotle Ranch Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together ranch dressing, minced chipotle peppers, and garlic powder until well combined.

4. Assemble the Burritos: Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheddar cheese, and crunchy tortilla strips. Drizzle with the prepared chipotle ranch sauce.

5. Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to enclose the filling.

6. Toast the Burritos: Place the rolled burritos seam-side down on a preheated skillet over medium heat. Toast each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
