Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Wrap and Topping Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup red onion slices (optional)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with a harmonious blend of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, ensuring both sides are evenly coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Grill the seasoned chicken on medium-high heat, cooking each side for 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C), guaranteeing juicy and perfectly cooked meat.
- Allow the chicken to rest briefly, then slice into elegant strips that will nestle beautifully within the wrap.
- Gently warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds, creating a pliable and soft base for the wrap.
- Layer the tortillas with a vibrant foundation of crisp shredded lettuce, creating a fresh and crunchy bed for the subsequent ingredients.
- Arrange the succulent chicken strips strategically across the lettuce, ensuring an even distribution of protein.
- Sprinkle a generous helping of shredded cheese, adding a creamy and rich dimension to the wrap.
- Enhance the texture and flavor profile by adding diced tomatoes, refreshing cucumber slices, and zesty red onions.
- Drizzle ranch dressing generously over the ingredients, creating a creamy and tangy coating that binds the components together.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro to elevate the wrap’s aromatic profile and add a final burst of herbaceous flavor.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to encase all ingredients in a neat, compact package.
- Slice the wrap in half diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately to preserve optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Slice chicken against the grain for tender, juicy strips that melt in your mouth and maximize flavor absorption.
- Warm tortillas briefly to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking when rolling, ensuring a perfect wrap every time.
- Customize protein options by substituting chicken with grilled tofu, shredded turkey, or plant-based alternatives for vegetarian and dietary preferences.
- Prep ingredients beforehand and store separately to create quick, grab-and-go meals that stay fresh and crisp throughout the day.
