Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the wraps in advance, but it’s best to store the filling ingredients separately and assemble them right before eating to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy.

How do I keep the avocado from turning brown?

Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the avocado slices. The citrus slows oxidation, keeping the avocado fresh for longer.

What type of chicken works best for this recipe?

Grilled, baked, or rotisserie chicken all work well. You can also use shredded leftover chicken for a quicker option.

Can I use a different tortilla?

Absolutely! Whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas are great alternatives. You can even use lettuce wraps for a low-carb version.

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Slice or shred the cooked chicken breast. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce if necessary.
Warm the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and heat them for about 10-15 seconds to make them more flexible and easier to roll.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the chicken slices, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring even distribution for balanced flavors in every bite.
Season and Add Dressing: Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the filling. Drizzle ranch dressing or your preferred sauce on top to enhance the flavors.
Wrap It Securely: Fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly to keep the ingredients in place. Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the tortilla upwards, making sure the filling stays enclosed. Place seam-side down to keep the wrap secure.
Serve and Enjoy: If desired, slice each wrap diagonally before serving for easier handling. Enjoy immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a meal on the go.

Notes

For extra flavor: Add a pinch of paprika, cumin, or chili powder to the chicken before assembling.
Low-carb option: Swap the tortilla for a large lettuce leaf.
Meal prep tip: Store ingredients separately and assemble fresh for the best texture.
