Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast sliced or shredded, rotisserie chicken works great
  • 1 medium ripe avocado sliced
  • 2 large flour tortillas burrito size
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce romaine or iceberg
  • 1 medium tomato diced, about 1/2 cup
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons ranch dressing or your favorite dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice optional, to prevent avocado browning

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe plate
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare all your ingredients. If using raw chicken breast, cook it in a skillet over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F, then slice or shred. Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Cut into thin slices. Dice the tomato and shred the lettuce if needed.
  2. Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 10-15 seconds until warm and pliable. Alternatively, warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side.
  3. Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread a handful of shredded lettuce down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 2 inches of space on the top and bottom edges. Layer about 1 cup of chicken on top of the lettuce per wrap.
  4. Arrange the avocado slices evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese on top. Season with a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Drizzle the ranch dressing evenly over the filling ingredients, distributing it so every bite is flavorful.
  6. To wrap, fold the left and right sides of the tortilla over the filling first. Starting from the bottom edge, roll the tortilla tightly away from you, keeping the sides tucked in as you go. Place seam-side down on a plate.
  7. For easier eating and professional presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally using a sharp serrated knife. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Storage: Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble wraps fresh for best results. To prevent avocado browning, squeeze lime juice over sliced avocado and press plastic wrap directly on surface. Variations: Try chipotle mayo, tzatziki, or honey mustard instead of ranch. Swap chicken for turkey, black beans, or grilled shrimp. Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for variety.
