- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin

Burrito Fillings
- 4–6 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)

- 1 avocado (sliced or mashed)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup corn kernels (fresh or roasted)

Step-by-Step Recipe
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for 15–30 minutes.
- Grill over medium heat for 6–8 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through. Let rest, then slice into strips.
2. Whip Up the Chipotle Ranch Sauce
- Combine Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and honey. Adjust spice levels to taste.
3. Assemble the Burritos
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Layer ingredients in the center: rice, beans, grilled chicken, cheese, avocado, tomatoes, corn, lettuce, and a generous drizzle of chipotle ranch sauce.
4. Fold Like a Pro
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal the burrito.
- Optional: Grill the burrito seam-side down for 1–2 minutes to crisp it up!

🌯 Wrap Tightly: Prevent leaks by not overfilling and tucking the sides firmly.
