Ingredients
Core Ingredients:
- 1 pound grilled chicken breast
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Optional Add-Ons:
- Shredded cheese
- Ranch dressing
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Spinach leaves
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Grill the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices (paprika, cumin, or garlic powder). Cook the chicken on a grill or skillet until golden on the outside and fully cooked inside. Let it cool slightly before slicing it into strips.
- Prep the Veggies: Wash and slice the avocado, tomato, and any other vegetables you’re using. Ensure everything is ready to go before assembling the wrap.
- Assembly:
- Layer the Ingredients: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start with a layer of lettuce or spinach, followed by grilled chicken, avocado slices, and tomato.
- Customize Your Wrap: Add any optional extras, like shredded cheese or a drizzle of ranch dressing, for extra flavor.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. If taking it on the go, wrap it in parchment paper or foil for easy transport.
Notes
- Tips for Wrapping:
- Warm the tortilla slightly before assembling to make it more pliable and easier to work with.
- Be mindful not to overfill the wrap to avoid tearing the tortilla.
- Customization Ideas:
- Low-Carb Version: Swap the tortilla for large lettuce leaves or a low-carb wrap.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with grilled tofu, roasted chickpeas, or black beans.
- Spicy Upgrade: Add jalapeño slices, a sprinkle of chili powder, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Storing and Packing Tips:
- Prevent Sogginess: Place wet ingredients, like tomatoes or dressings, between layers of lettuce or chicken.
- Wrap Securely: Use parchment paper or foil to hold everything in place.
- Refrigerate: Store prepared wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
