Q1: Can I make this burrito ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the chicken filling 1–2 days in advance and store it in the fridge. Assemble and grill the burrito fresh for best texture.

Q2: What can I use instead of chipotle sauce if I don’t like spicy food?

You can swap it for a mild salsa, a smoky BBQ sauce, or simply use more ranch dressing to keep it flavorful but mild.

Q3: How do I prevent my burrito from falling apart while grilling?

Use thick, large flour tortillas and avoid overfilling. Warming the tortillas slightly before assembling helps them stay pliable and easier to roll.

Q4: Is there a vegetarian version of this recipe?

Absolutely. Replace the chicken with black beans, grilled tofu, or sautéed veggies like mushrooms and bell peppers for a hearty vegetarian burrito.
