These chicken wraps are not only easy to make but are packed with protein and fresh veggies. The chicken is tender and flavorful, while the crisp vegetables add a refreshing crunch. Each bite is a delightful mix of textures and tastes, making it a perfect option for a quick lunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

  • 4 large tortillas or wraps

  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or your favorite sauce

Directions

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and place them on a clean work surface.
  • Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded chicken, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
  • Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
  • Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half and enjoy immediately or wrap it in foil for an easy meal on the go.

Key Prep Tips

  1. Choose Soft Tortillas: Use fresh, soft tortillas to make wrapping easier and prevent tearing.
  2. Use Pre-Cooked Chicken: Save time by using shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken strips, or leftover cooked chicken.
  3. Spread Evenly: Add your favorite sauce (like ranch, hummus, or salsa) evenly on the tortilla for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Layer Strategically: Place chicken first, followed by veggies and cheese, to keep the wrap neat and easy to roll.

Suggested Variations

  • Add Greens: Include spinach, lettuce, or arugula for a fresh crunch.
  • Cheese Options: Use shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or a dairy-free cheese for dietary preferences.
  • Spice It Up: Add a drizzle of hot sauce, chipotle mayo, or a sprinkle of chili powder for extra flavor.
  • Low-Carb Option: Swap tortillas for large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Quick Meal: Pair with a side of fresh fruit, chips, or a small salad for a complete meal.
  • For Meal Prep: Wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper and store in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go lunch.
  • Beverages: Pair with iced tea, sparkling water with lime, or a light smoothie.
  • Presentation: Slice the wrap in half at an angle and arrange on a plate with dipping sauce for a polished look.
