What You'll Need
- Cooked chicken breast: torn or cut into pieces.
- Ripe avocado: cut into thin pieces.
- Flour tortillas: large size, soft and new.
- Shredded lettuce: Iceberg or Romaine for extra crunch.
- Chopped tomatoes: juicy and ripe.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: grate it yourself for smoother melting.
- Ranch dressing: or whatever sauce you like best.
- Salt and pepper: just enough to taste good.
How to Make Chicken Avocado Wraps
- Step 1: Get Everything Ready
- Cook and cut up the chicken breast. Slice your avocado and take out the seed. Chop up tomatoes. Tear up lettuce if needed.
- Step 2: Heat Tortillas
- Put your flour tortillas on a plate that's safe for the microwave and heat them for about 10-15 seconds until they're warm.
- Step 3: Put It All Together
- Spread out the warm tortillas on a flat surface. Put some shredded lettuce on each one, but leave the edges empty. Add your cooked chicken pieces on the lettuce. Put avocado slices on top of the chicken. Sprinkle tomatoes and cheddar cheese over everything.
- Step 4: Add Flavor
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper over your fillings. Drizzle ranch dressing (or whatever sauce you like) on top of everything.
- Step 5: Roll Them Up
- Fold in the sides of your tortilla over the fillings. Then start from the bottom and roll it up tight to keep everything inside.
- Step 6: Ready to Eat
- Put your wraps on a plate with the seam facing down. If you want, cut each one across the middle before eating.
