Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded (about 6 oz)

Vegetables & Fruits

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Dairy

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Wrap & Condiments

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cook and slice or shred the chicken breast. Slice the avocado and carefully remove the pit. Dice the tomatoes. Shred the lettuce if needed to get the right texture for the wrap.
  2. Warm Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and heat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they become warm and pliable, which makes them easier to wrap without tearing.
  3. Assemble Wraps: Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean surface. Start by spreading a layer of shredded lettuce evenly across each tortilla, leaving space around the edges to prevent overflow later. Add the cooked chicken evenly on top of the lettuce, then arrange the avocado slices over the chicken. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  4. Season and Dress: Lightly season the layered ingredients with salt and pepper according to your taste. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing or your preferred dressing over the filling to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Wrap Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to contain the ingredients. Starting at the bottom edge closest to you, roll the tortilla upward tightly to form a wrap that securely encloses all the fillings inside.
  6. Serve: Place the wraps seam-side down on a serving plate to keep them closed. For easier eating and a nice presentation, slice each wrap diagonally in half before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ranch dressing with a healthy greek yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
  • Warm tortillas better in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds each side if you prefer not to use a microwave.
  • For extra crunch, add thinly sliced cucumbers or bell peppers to the filling.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrients.
  • To make this wrap gluten-free, swap flour tortillas for gluten-free wraps.
