What You'll Need
- Cooked chicken breast: torn or cut into pieces.
- Ripe avocado: cut into thin pieces.
- Flour tortillas: large size, soft and not stale.
- Shredded lettuce: Iceberg or Romaine for extra snap.
- Diced tomatoes: juicy and in-season.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: grate it yourself for smoother melting.
- Ranch dressing: or whatever sauce you fancy.
- Salt and pepper: sprinkle to your liking.
Simple Steps for Chicken Avocado Wraps
- Step 1: Get Everything Ready
- Prepare your chicken by cooking and cutting it up. Cut open the avocado and take out the hard center. Chop up your tomatoes. Tear or cut the lettuce if it's not ready.
- Step 2: Heat Your Tortillas
- Stack your flour tortillas on a plate that can go in the microwave and heat them for about 10-15 seconds until they're warm.
- Step 3: Build Your Wraps
- Put your warm tortillas flat on the counter. Spread some lettuce across each one, but don't go all the way to the edges. Layer your cooked chicken over the lettuce. Put avocado slices next. Sprinkle your tomatoes and cheese on top of everything.
- Step 4: Add Flavor
- Shake some salt and pepper over your fillings. Pour a bit of ranch dressing (or whatever you like) across everything.
- Step 5: Roll Them Up
- Bring in the sides of your tortilla toward the middle. From the bottom, roll the tortilla up tightly so all the good stuff stays inside.
- Step 6: Time to Eat
- Put your wraps on plates with the seam facing down. If you want, cut them in half at an angle before eating.
