Upgrade your lunchbox with these tasty chicken avocado wraps. They're perfect when you're short on time but still want something good. You'll get juicy chicken, smooth avocado, and crunchy veggies all wrapped in a nicely toasted tortilla that's both filling and yummy.
You'll love how each mouthful mixes textures and flavors, from the juicy chicken to the buttery avocado and crispy lettuce. And adding your go-to dressing brings a zingy kick that pulls everything together.
What You'll Need
- Cooked chicken breast: torn or cut into pieces.
- Ripe avocado: cut into chunks.
- Flour tortillas: large size, soft and bendy.
- Shredded lettuce: iceberg or Romaine for snap.
- Chopped tomatoes: ripe and juicy.
- Shredded cheddar cheese: grate it yourself for better flavor.
- Ranch dressing: or whatever sauce you enjoy.
- Salt and pepper: sprinkle to your liking.
Putting Together Chicken Avocado Wraps
- Step 1: Get Everything Ready
- Have your chicken cooked and pulled apart or sliced up. Cut open your avocado and take out the chunks. Chop up those tomatoes. Tear up some lettuce if it's not already shredded.
- Step 2: Heat Your Tortillas
- Grab your flour tortillas and pop them on a plate in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they're warm and flexible.
- Step 3: Load Up Your Wraps
- Spread out those warm tortillas on your counter. Put down a bed of lettuce on each one, but don't go all the way to the edges. Add your chicken pieces on top of the greens. Arrange some avocado chunks over the chicken. Scatter tomatoes and cheese on top of everything.
- Step 4: Add Flavor Boosters
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper over your filling. Drizzle ranch dressing (or whatever sauce you like) across everything.
- Step 5: Roll Them Up
- Fold in the sides of your tortilla. Then starting from the bottom, roll everything up tight to keep all the good stuff inside.
- Step 6: Ready to Eat
- Put your wraps down with the seam facing the plate. If you want, cut them in half at an angle before eating.
