Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and sliced (or shredded)
Fresh Produce and Cheese:
- 2 avocados, ripe and sliced
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Wrap and Seasoning Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Gently cook chicken breasts until thoroughly done, then slice or shred into tender, bite-sized pieces while ensuring even texture.
- Carefully slice ripe avocados into smooth, uniform sections and precisely dice fresh tomatoes into small, consistent cubes.
- Select a soft tortilla and place it flat on a clean preparation surface, creating a smooth canvas for your wrap.
- Apply a thin, even layer of ranch dressing across the tortilla, spreading from edge to edge to guarantee flavor in every bite.
- Create a vibrant foundation by generously sprinkling crisp, shredded lettuce as the first layer of your wrap.
- Strategically arrange diced tomatoes over the lettuce, providing a burst of freshness and color.
- Layer sliced avocado pieces to add creamy texture and rich, smooth consistency to the wrap.
- Distribute the prepared chicken evenly, ensuring each bite contains a balanced portion of protein.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese across the ingredients, allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the chicken.
- Lightly season with salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile of the wrap.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, creating a secure base to prevent ingredient spillage.
- Roll the wrap tightly from bottom to top, applying gentle pressure to maintain structural integrity.
- Slice the wrap diagonally if desired, presenting an appealing cross-section of ingredients.
- Serve immediately to preserve the wrap’s optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner protein option that cooks quickly and evenly.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken with a light seasoning of garlic powder and paprika to enhance the flavor profile without overwhelming the other ingredients.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional wheat tortillas with large lettuce leaves or gluten-free wraps made from corn or alternative flours.
- Keep avocados at peak ripeness by selecting ones that yield slightly to gentle pressure and storing them in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process once they’re ready to eat.
