250 millilitres cooked white or brown rice

250 millilitres drained and rinsed black beans

# Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
02 -
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
03 -
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until flexible. Ensure the black beans and rice are heated through before assembly.
04 -
Lay each tortilla flat. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of chipotle ranch dressing in the center. Layer with rice, black beans, grilled chicken strips, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn if using. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for freshness.
05 -
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Serve immediately or optionally grill the wrapped burrito to achieve a crisp exterior.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the grilled chicken to rest before slicing to retain its juices and ensure optimal texture.
