Instructions
1. Prepare Ingredients:
Slice or shred the cooked chicken. Slice the avocado and remove the pit. Dice the tomatoes and shred the lettuce if needed.
2. Warm the Tortillas:
Place tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and warm for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
Lay the warm tortillas flat. Layer shredded lettuce first, then add chicken slices, avocado, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Season and Dress:
Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with ranch dressing or your preferred dressing.
5. Roll the Wraps:
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom edge to enclose the filling completely.

Place wraps seam-side down on a plate. Slice diagonally for easy eating and an attractive presentation. Serve immediately or pack for lunch.
Tips & Variations
- Use Pre-Cooked Chicken: Rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken works perfectly.
- Prevent Avocado Browning: Brush avocado slices with a little lemon or lime juice before assembling.
- Customize Your Wrap: Add cucumbers, bell peppers, or a fried egg for extra flavor.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Store fillings separately from tortillas to keep wraps fresh.
