Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cook the chicken breasts if not already cooked, then slice or shred them. Slice the avocados and remove the pits. Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce if needed, preparing all components for assembly.
- Warm the Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and heat them in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a layer of shredded lettuce, leaving some space near the edges. Add the sliced or shredded chicken over the lettuce. Arrange avocado slices on top of the chicken, followed by the diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Season and Dress: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the fillings according to your taste. Drizzle the ranch dressing, or your preferred dressing, over the top to add moisture and flavor.
- Wrap Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings. Starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortilla tightly upwards, fully enclosing the ingredients to form a neat wrap.
- Serve: Place the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate to keep them sealed. Optionally, slice each wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and an attractive presentation.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftover from previous meals or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- To keep the avocado from browning, squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the slices before assembling.
- Feel free to customize the wrap with your favorite dressings or add-ins like bacon, jalapeños, or different cheeses.
- For a healthier option, substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
- This wrap is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness and avoid sogginess.
