Instructions

- In a medium bowl, combine the ranch dressing, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add more chipotle peppers.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, oiling the grates if using a grill.
- Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Warm the flour tortillas on a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 20 seconds.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add about 1/4 cup of cooked rice in the center.
- Add a generous scoop of black beans on top of the rice, followed by a scoop of corn.
- Add a handful of sliced grilled chicken on top of the beans and corn.
- Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
- Drizzle with the prepared Chipotle Ranch Sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
