Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (minced)

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cooked white rice (or cilantro lime rice)

1 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

1 cup lettuce (shredded)

1 tomato (diced)

1 avocado (sliced)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced chipotle pepper, ranch seasoning, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge) for more flavor.

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Prepare the Burrito: On a large flour tortilla, layer a scoop of cooked rice, black beans, corn, sliced grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, and avocado.

        Wrap the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom to top tightly. Make sure all fillings are secured inside.

          Toast the Burrito: Optional step for added crunch - place the burrito seam-side down on the grill or a pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Slice the burrito in half and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve with your favorite salsa or extra ranch dressing on the side.
