Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/2 cup salsa (mild, medium, or spicy)
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing (bottled or homemade)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size; whole wheat or gluten-free options work)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Squeeze of lime juice (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of cumin or chili powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded cooked chicken with 1/2 cup salsa and 1/3 cup ranch dressing. Stir well until chicken is evenly coated. Add salt, pepper, and optional chili powder or cumin. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  2. Prep veggies: shred 1 cup lettuce, dice 1 medium tomato, thinly slice 1/4 cup red onion if using, and slice half an avocado if desired.
  3. Optional: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture down the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, avocado slices, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons shredded cheese. Squeeze lime juice over filling if desired.
  5. Fold the sides in and roll tightly from one end to the other to form the wrap. Patch any tears with extra chicken or lettuce if needed.
  6. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil/plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing. Adjust salsa and ranch quantities to avoid soggy filling. Rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor. For vegetarian version, substitute chicken with seasoned beans or grilled veggies. Store wraps refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat in skillet to keep tortilla firm. Add crushed tortilla chips or extra cheese if chicken mixture is too wet.
