Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
Wrap and Bread:
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
Fresh Vegetables and Toppings:
- 1 cup (237 ml) lettuce, shredded
- ½ cup (118 ml) tomatoes, diced
- ½ cup (118 ml) cucumbers, thinly sliced
- ½ cup (118 ml) shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
Sauces and Dressings:
- ¼ cup (59 ml) ranch dressing
- ¼ cup (59 ml) mayonnaise
Instructions
- Gently warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and malleable, enhancing their flexibility for wrapping.
- Marinate chicken pieces in ranch dressing, ensuring each morsel is thoroughly coated with the creamy, tangy sauce.
- Create a flavor foundation by spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise across the center of each tortilla, providing a smooth, rich base.
- Strategically layer crisp, shredded lettuce as the first textural element, creating a fresh, green bed for subsequent ingredients.
- Distribute diced tomatoes and cucumbers evenly, adding bright, refreshing notes and a vibrant crunch to the wrap.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables, allowing its subtle richness to complement the other ingredients.
- Carefully place the ranch-infused chicken across the cheese, ensuring balanced coverage throughout the wrap.
- Arrange delicate avocado slices atop the chicken, introducing a creamy, luxurious element to the flavor profile.
- Execute a precise folding technique: tuck in the tortilla sides, then roll from the bottom upward, creating a tight, compact wrap.
- Secure the wrap with a toothpick if necessary to maintain its structural integrity.
- Slice diagonally to reveal the colorful, layered interior, and serve immediately while ingredients remain fresh and crisp.
Notes
- Warm tortillas gently to prevent cracking and make them more flexible, ensuring easier wrapping without tearing.
- Mix different sauces like ranch, sriracha, or honey mustard to create unique flavor profiles that match personal taste preferences.
- Choose low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps for a keto-friendly version, allowing those on restrictive diets to enjoy the recipe without compromising nutrition.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time and store separately to maintain freshness, making quick assembly possible during busy weekdays or for meal prep.
