Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
- 1/2 ripe avocado (sliced)
Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap and Seasoning:
- 1 flour tortilla
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by cooking it thoroughly, then slice or shred into bite-sized pieces. Remove the pit from the avocado and slice it thinly. Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce, ensuring all ingredients are ready for assembly.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable and easier to wrap.
- Create a base layer of shredded lettuce on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for easier wrapping. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the lettuce.
- Carefully arrange avocado slices on top of the chicken. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese over the avocado layer.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Drizzle ranch dressing generously across the ingredients to add moisture and tangy flavor.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward to prevent filling from falling out. Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom, ensuring a compact and secure wrap.
- Position the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate to maintain their shape. Optionally, slice each wrap diagonally for easier handling and more appealing presentation.
Notes
- Cook extra chicken and store in portions for quick future wrap assembly during busy weeks.
- Swap chicken with grilled tofu, black beans, or pulled pork for versatile protein options that suit different dietary preferences.
- Slightly warm tortillas prevent cracking and enhance pliability, making wrapping smoother and more enjoyable.
- Replace cheddar cheese with dairy-free alternatives like nutritional yeast or vegan cheese shreds for lactose-intolerant individuals.
