Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) chicken, shredded or diced
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup (237 ml) lettuce, shredded
- ½ cup (118 ml) tomatoes, diced
- ½ cup (118 ml) cucumbers, thinly sliced
- ½ cup (118 ml) cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup (59 ml) ranch dressing
- ¼ cup (59 ml) mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preparation: Gently warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, creating a soft foundation for wrapping.
- Marination: Coat chicken pieces thoroughly in ranch dressing, infusing them with a tangy, creamy flavor profile.
- Assembly Base: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise across the tortilla’s center, establishing a rich, smooth foundation.
- Layering: Create a vibrant base by strategically arranging shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers for crisp, fresh texture.
- Cheese and Protein: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the vegetables, then carefully place ranch-marinated chicken for a balanced flavor combination.
- Final Touches: Adorn with creamy avocado slices, adding a luxurious element to the wrap’s overall taste and texture.
- Wrapping Technique: Fold tortilla sides inward, then roll from bottom to top, creating a compact, secure package that locks in all ingredients.
- Serving: Slice diagonally to showcase the colorful interior, and serve immediately to preserve the wrap’s freshness and crisp elements.
Notes
- Warm Tortillas Wisely: Heat tortillas gently to prevent cracking and ensure maximum flexibility, using a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Let chicken sit in ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow deeper flavor penetration and tenderize the meat.
- Layer Strategically: Build wraps from bottom to top, creating a moisture barrier with lettuce to prevent soggy tortillas and maintain crispness.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Swap regular tortillas with gluten-free options, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and select low-fat cheese for healthier alternatives.
