Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
Vegetables:
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 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 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 prepare all components for assembly.
- Warm Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and microwave them for about 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable for wrapping.
- 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. Then place the cooked chicken slices or shredded chicken over the lettuce. Arrange the avocado slices on top of the chicken, followed by sprinkling diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese over the avocado.
- Season and Dress: Season the filling with salt and pepper according to your taste. Drizzle ranch dressing or your preferred dressing evenly over the filling for added flavor and moisture.
- Wrap Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a wrap, enclosing the filling completely so nothing falls out.
- Serve: Place the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate to keep them closed. If desired, slice each wrap in half diagonally before serving for easier handling and presentation.
Notes
- Use grilled or rotisserie chicken for extra flavor if desired.
- Substitute ranch dressing with a vinaigrette or chipotle mayo for variation.
- To make this wrap low carb, use a low-carb or whole wheat tortilla.
- Avocados should be ripe but firm to hold their shape when sliced.
- Wraps can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; add dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
