Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cups cooked grilled chicken breasts
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 cup Hidden Valley Simply Ranch dressing
Herbs and Wrap Components:
- 1/4 cup cilantro (minced)
- 4 8-inch tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas by laying them flat on a clean surface, creating a workspace for assembly.
- Distribute shredded chicken evenly across each tortilla, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the chicken, creating a smooth and flavorful base layer.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously to add richness and create a melty texture.
- Optionally garnish with fresh cilantro to enhance the wrap’s aromatic profile.
- Carefully fold the tortilla edges inward, then roll tightly to create a compact burrito shape, sealing the ingredients inside.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle to medium heat, lightly coating the surface with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Position the wraps seam-side down in the heated pan, allowing them to crisp and develop a golden-brown exterior.
- Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to ensure even browning and warming of the filling.
- Once the tortillas achieve a crispy, golden finish, remove from heat and let rest momentarily.
- Slice each wrap diagonally to create appealing presentation and easier handling.
- Serve immediately while the wraps are warm and the cheese remains melted.
Notes
- Adapt tortillas by using whole wheat or gluten-free options for different dietary needs.
- Swap ranch dressing with Greek yogurt for a lighter, protein-rich alternative that cuts calories.
- Enhance nutrition by adding extra vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or shredded carrots inside the wrap.
- Prep chicken ahead of time by batch cooking and storing in the refrigerator to speed up weeknight meal preparation.
