Method

Step-By-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill to 350°F (medium-high heat). Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
In a bowl, mix chipotle chiles with mayonnaise and lime juice for chipotle mayo. Mash avocado and mix with ranch dressing for avocado ranch sauce.
Warm the tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Prepare black beans, Mexican rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and tortilla strips.
Lay a tortilla flat and spread chipotle mayo. Layer chicken, black beans, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, leaving edges clear.
Tuck in sides of tortilla and roll tightly from bottom to top. Place seam side down and repeat for all burritos.
Heat a nonstick skillet, add oil, and cook rolled burritos seam side down for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side.
Remove burritos from skillet and serve warm, optionally with extra sauces for dipping.
