Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes

- 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
- 1/2 cup black or pinto beans (optional)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- Warm tortillas and lay them flat. Layer with chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, chipotle ranch, and optional rice or beans.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill burritos seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

- Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
- Swap chicken with steak or shrimp for variation.
