Ingredients
🐔 Protein
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or sliced
- Grilled, rotisserie, or even leftover chicken works great.
🌯 Wrap Base
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Whole wheat or low-carb tortillas work just as well.
🥬 Fresh Fillings
- 1 cup shredded lettuce romaine or iceberg for crunch
- 1 small tomato diced
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado sliced or mashed (optional but adds creaminess)
🧀 Cheese & Extras
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite blend
- Pickles or jalapeños optional for a tangy or spicy kick
🥣 Sauce
- 3 tablespoons ranch dressing Caesar, or even hummus
- * Pick a sauce that pairs well with your chicken wrap flavor.
Instructions
Soften the Tortillas
- Place your tortilla on a warm skillet or pop it in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Warming it slightly makes it easier to fold and keeps it from cracking when you wrap.
Build the Layers
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a spoonful of your favorite chicken wrap sauce—ranch, Caesar, or even spicy mayo—right down the center.
- Add a generous layer of shredded chicken on top of the sauce.
- Pile on your crisp lettuce, juicy tomato slices, thin onion rings, and creamy avocado if you like a little extra richness.
- Sprinkle over some shredded cheese to tie it all together.
Wrap It Tight
- Fold in the sides first, then roll from the bottom up, keeping everything tucked inside.
- Press gently to hold its shape. You can also wrap it in foil or parchment to keep it neat.
Slice and Serve
- Cut the wrap in half at an angle for easy handling and a nice presentation.
- Serve right away, or pack it up for a quick lunch on the go.
