Ingredients (Makes 2 wraps):
For the Wraps:
2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup cooked chicken breast (grilled or shredded)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/monterey jack)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1 small tomato, diced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1/4 cup sliced cucumbers (optional)
2 tbsp mayonnaise or ranch dressing (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
Optional Add-ons:
1/4 avocado, sliced
Hot sauce or sriracha
Cooked bacon bits
Pickles or jalapeños
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
If using raw chicken, season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Assemble the Wrap
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Lay the tortilla flat and spread 1 tbsp of mayo or ranch on each.
In the center of each wrap, layer chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and other toppings as desired.
Step 3: Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
Optionally, grill the wrap in a pan for 2–3 minutes per side to melt the cheese and add crispness.
Step 4: Serve
Slice in half diagonally and serve warm or chilled with a side salad or chips.
