Instructions

Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough to cook the chicken evenly.
Prepare Chicken: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with this spice mixture for bold flavor.
Grill Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices, then slice into strips.
Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable and easy to roll without tearing.
Assemble Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat and layer with cilantro lime rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, romaine lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Drizzle chipotle ranch dressing over the filling for a creamy and spicy element.
Wrap Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly to enclose the filling completely.
Grill Burritos: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the outside is golden brown and lightly crisped.
Serve: Remove from skillet and serve the burritos warm for a delicious, hearty meal.

Notes

You can substitute grilled shrimp or steak for the chicken for a different protein option.
Use a low-carb wrap if you prefer a lighter or gluten-free alternative.
Adding avocado slices or corn kernels inside the burrito can enhance flavor and texture.
