What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Season the Chicken
If using pre-cooked chicken toss the shredded chicken with garlic powder in a bowl until evenly coated. Warm the chicken in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
Place each tortilla in the dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable and easier to wrap without cracking.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay each warm tortilla flat and spread one tablespoon of ranch dressing down the center. Layer on the warm chicken shredded cheese and lettuce in a line down the middle.
Step 4: Wrap and Serve
Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately with extra ranch for dipping.
