How to Make Avocado Ranch Chicken Burrito Wraps
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ranch dressing, minced herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- Assemble the wraps: Place each tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Distribute the chicken evenly across the tortillas, then layer with avocado slices, tomato, and cheese if desired.
- Add the sauce: Drizzle a few tablespoons of the creamy ranch mixture over the fillings.
- Wrap and serve: Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito. Slice in half and enjoy right away, or wrap in foil for a convenient meal on the move.
Helpful Tips
- Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave to make them more pliable.
- Use rotisserie chicken for added convenience and flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
Substitutions And Variations
- Protein swaps: Try grilled shrimp, tofu, or turkey instead of chicken.
- Low-carb option: Use lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.
- Spicy twist: Add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños to the mix.
- Vegan version: Replace chicken with grilled veggies and use a vegan ranch dressing.
