Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Dairy
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables & Fruits
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
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 ripe avocado and remove the pit. Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce if not already shredded.
- Warm Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 10-15 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay the warmed tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of shredded lettuce evenly on each tortilla, leaving space at the edges. Add the cooked chicken on top of the lettuce, then arrange 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 your taste. Drizzle the ranch dressing or your preferred dressing over the filling ingredients for added flavor.
- Wrap Up: Fold in the sides of the tortillas over the filling. Starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortillas tightly into wraps, ensuring the filling is enclosed securely.
- Serve: Place the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate. For easier eating, slice each wrap diagonally in half if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use grilled or rotisserie chicken for a flavorful shortcut.
- Substitute ranch dressing with a vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
- For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas.
- To add crunch, include sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- Consume immediately or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
