For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:

Instructions
- Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.

- Grill chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred. Slice thinly.
- In a small bowl, mix together ranch dressing, chipotle in adobo, lime juice, and smoked paprika. Adjust spice level to taste.

Notes
- Optional add-ins like corn and black beans add color and texture—feel free to skip if preferred.
- For a milder version, decrease the chipotle in adobo or ranch dressing amount.
- To make ahead, assemble burritos (without grilling) and refrigerate; grill until crisp when ready to serve.
