Ingredients
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 Ingredients: Slice or shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Slice the avocado and dice the tomatoes. Shred the lettuce and cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay out a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of ranch dressing evenly over the tortilla for added moisture and flavor.
- Add the Fillings: Layer half of the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced chicken, avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of the tortilla. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to enclose all the fillings securely.
- Serve: Repeat the process for the second wrap. Cut each wrap in half diagonally if desired, and serve immediately for best freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute ranch dressing with any dressing of choice such as Caesar or a light vinaigrette.
- To keep the avocado from browning, sprinkle it lightly with lemon or lime juice.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to adapt the recipe for specific dietary needs.
- This wrap is best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
