Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream, for serving (optional)
- Salsa, for serving (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Filling Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas to make them soft and pliable. You can do this by:
- Microwave: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Skillet: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side, or until warm and slightly softened.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Add Filling: Spread about 1/4 of the chicken and avocado mixture down the center of the tortilla.
- Add Toppings: Top the chicken mixture with shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold and Roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll up the tortilla from the bottom to form a wrap (like a burrito).
- Repeat: Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve: Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping or drizzling, if desired.
Notes
- Chicken: You can use leftover cooked chicken, rotisserie chicken, or quickly poach or bake chicken breasts for this recipe.
- Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe but not too mushy.
- Ranch Dressing: Use your favorite store-bought or homemade ranch dressing.
- Tortillas: Large flour tortillas are recommended for easy wrapping.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the wraps. Warm the tortillas just before assembling.
- Serving Suggestions: These wraps are great for lunch, dinner, or a quick snack.
