Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin with a cooked chicken breast. Either slice or shred the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces to make it easy to layer into the wrap.
- Slice the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully slice it into thin pieces.
- Lay Out the Tortillas: Place your two flour tortillas on a clean flat surface to start assembling.
- Layer the Ingredients: Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce over each tortilla, followed by the diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, sliced or shredded chicken, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add Dressing and Season: Drizzle 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of ranch dressing over each wrap and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
- Wrap it Up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, folding in the sides as you go to encase all the fillings securely.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired, and serve immediately while the avocado is fresh, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for a packed lunch.
Notes
- You can substitute ranch dressing with your favorite dressing such as Caesar or a vinaigrette for a different flavor profile.
- Grilled chicken breast also works well if you prefer a smoky flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps.
- The wrap is best eaten fresh to prevent avocado from browning.
- Feel free to add other veggies like cucumber or bell peppers for extra crunch.
