Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
Produce
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Dairy
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Other
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cook and slice or shred the chicken breast. Slice the avocado and remove the pit. Dice the tomatoes. Shred the lettuce if needed to ensure it’s easy to assemble.
- Warm Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and microwave them for about 10-15 seconds to soften and warm them, making them easier to roll.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean surface. Add a layer of shredded lettuce on each tortilla, leaving space at the edges to prevent overfilling. Place the cooked chicken slices or shredded meat on top of the lettuce. Arrange the avocado slices over the chicken. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the avocado.
- Season and Dress: Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle ranch dressing or your preferred dressing over the assembled ingredients for added flavor and moisture.
- Wrap Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to secure it. Then, starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the tortilla upward to form a secure wrap that encloses all the filling neatly.
- Serve: Place the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate to keep them closed. For easier eating, optionally slice each wrap diagonally in half before serving.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftover from previous meals or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- If preferred, substitute ranch dressing with Caesar or honey mustard for different flavors.
- To make this wrap gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas.
- For added crunch, consider adding sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- Keep avocado slices fresh by squeezing a little lemon juice over them before assembling.
