The image shows a stack of grilled burrito halves on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface. Each burrito half has a golden-brown, slightly crispy tortilla outer layer, inside which layers of creamy green avocado chunks, light yellow corn, and white shredded chicken are visible. The filling is thick and packed tightly, showing the textures of soft avocado, tender chicken, and some green herbs or cilantro. In front of the burrito halves, there is a bright green lime wedge. The background is softly blurred, focusing all attention on the stacked burrito halves. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 large tortillas
2 cooked chicken breasts, grilled and shredded
1 ripe avocado
Lettuce
Onion, thinly sliced
Cheese, shredded
Optional: ranch dressing
Optional: jalapeños and tomatoes for extra flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Prepare the fillings by slicing the avocado, shredding the cooked chicken, and slicing the onion, jalapeños, and tomatoes if using.
Step 2: On each tortilla, layer the avocado slices, shredded chicken, lettuce, onion, cheese, and any optional veggies or ranch dressing you like.
Step 3: Fold the sides of the tortilla slightly, then roll it tightly from one end to the other. Serve immediately or toast in a skillet for a few minutes to crisp the wrap slightly.

Tips & Variations

Use Greek yogurt mixed with a bit of lime juice as a healthier alternative to ranch dressing.
Swap grilled chicken for rotisserie chicken to save time.
Add fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra brightness.
For a spicy kick, include sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

Storage

Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm the wrap in a skillet or microwave until heated through; if toasted, it will regain its crispiness better in a skillet.

How to Serve

The image shows four wraps cut in half, placed in a row on a long white rectangular plate over a white marbled surface, each revealing layers inside. The wraps have a light brown, soft tortilla exterior. Inside, there is a layer of green leafy lettuce, pieces of white chicken, and small diced light green avocado. In the background, there is a clear glass bowl filled with a chunky green mixture, a halved avocado with its seed, and a bunch of red grapes. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
