Boost your midday meals with these delicious, filling chicken and avocado wraps. They're just what you need on hectic days - combining juicy chicken strips, smooth avocado, and crunchy veggies all tucked into a nicely toasted tortilla that's tasty and good for you too.

What You'll Need
- Ready-to-eat chicken breast: cut into strips or pulled apart.
- Soft avocado: cut into pieces.
- Flour tortillas: large ones that bend without breaking.
- Chopped lettuce: Iceberg or Romaine for extra snap.
- Chopped tomatoes: juicy and red.
- Grated cheddar cheese: grate it yourself for better melt.
- Ranch sauce: or whatever dressing you like best.
- Salt and pepper: as much as you want.
Putting Together Your Chicken Avocado Wraps
- Step 1: Get Everything Ready
- Prepare your chicken by cooking and slicing it up. Cut open the avocado and take out the seed. Chop up your tomatoes. Tear apart the lettuce if needed.
- Step 2: Get Tortillas Ready
- Put your flour tortillas on a plate that can go in the microwave and heat them for about 10-15 seconds until they're soft.
- Step 3: Put It All Together
- Spread out your warm tortillas on your counter. Put some lettuce on each one, but don't cover the whole thing. Add your chicken on top of the lettuce. Lay avocado pieces over the chicken. Sprinkle your tomatoes and cheese on top of everything.
- Step 4: Add Flavor
- Throw on some salt and pepper to make it taste even better. Pour some ranch (or whatever sauce you like) all over your fillings.
- Step 5: Roll It Up
- Fold in the sides of your tortilla. Then start from the bottom and roll it up tight so nothing falls out.
- Step 6: Time to Eat
- Put your wraps on a plate with the seam facing down. If you want, cut them in half at an angle before you serve them.
