Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 large tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by ensuring it is fully cooked and cooled. Dice the chicken into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency.
- Add the diced chicken to the mashed avocado. Pour in the ranch dressing and gently mix until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.
- Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, ensuring they are cut into uniform small pieces that will distribute easily in the wrap.
- Season the chicken and avocado mixture with salt and pepper to taste, stirring to incorporate the seasonings thoroughly.
- Warm the large tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- Lay out the tortillas and spread the chicken and avocado mixture evenly in the center, leaving space at the edges for folding.
- Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes over the chicken mixture.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the wrap tightly from bottom to top, ensuring a secure seal.
- Optional: Cut the wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for a portable meal.
Tips
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch for the creamiest texture.
- Use leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- Warm tortillas briefly to prevent cracking and make them more pliable.
- For extra crunch, consider adding diced celery or chopped lettuce to the mixture.
- Experiment with different ranch dressing varieties - spicy, classic, or herb-infused.
- Meal prep tip: Prepare the chicken and avocado mixture in advance for quick assembly.
- For a low-carb option, substitute the tortilla with large lettuce leaves.
- Ensure ingredients are well-chilled for a refreshing summer lunch option.
