Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced or shredded
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
Wrap and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken breast using your preferred method (grilled, baked, or poached) until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred into thin strips. Season with salt, pepper, or desired spices for enhanced flavor.
- Halve the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice into generous, even pieces, ensuring the avocado is perfectly ripe and creamy.
- Dice fresh, firm tomatoes into small, uniform bite-sized pieces to prevent sogginess in the wrap.
- Finely chop crisp lettuce, using a salad spinner to remove excess moisture and maintain its crunch.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to increase flexibility, being cautious of potential hot spots.
- Lay out tortillas on a clean surface and create a base layer of shredded lettuce, leaving a small border around the edges for easy rolling.
- Distribute the prepared chicken evenly over the lettuce, ensuring consistent coverage across the wrap.
- Arrange avocado slices carefully on top of the chicken, creating a smooth, creamy layer.
- Sprinkle diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese over the avocado to add freshness and savory depth.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper, then drizzle ranch dressing or preferred sauce evenly across the ingredients.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom, securing the filling inside and creating a compact wrap.
- Position the wrap seam-side down on a serving plate. Slice diagonally for an appealing presentation and easier eating experience.
Notes
- Customize chicken seasoning with different spice blends like Cajun, Italian, or Mediterranean for varied flavor profiles.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing for a healthier, protein-packed alternative that adds tangy richness.
- Choose whole wheat or low-carb tortillas to accommodate gluten-free or low-carbohydrate dietary needs without compromising taste.
- Keep avocado fresh by sprinkling lemon juice to prevent browning and maintain vibrant green color during preparation.
