Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito

This delicious burrito combines Mexican and American flavors to super tasty effect. It starts with boneless chicken breasts that are cubed and cooked in a blend of zesty spices. Then, I combine it with chipotle ranch and avocado ranch dressing. Finally, I stuff a tortilla with the chicken, along with cheese, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, and tortilla strips to create a dish that’s full of all kinds of flavors and textures, so it’s satisfying on every level.

How to Store and Reheat Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burritos
