๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients You’ll Need

Main

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 (1.25 oz) packet taco seasoning

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)

Wrap Fillings

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, diced

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup Ranch dressing

  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped


๐Ÿ”ฅ How to Make Avocado Chicken Wraps

1. Cook the Chicken

Heat a cast iron grill pan over medium heat with olive oil. Toss chicken in taco seasoning until evenly coated. Add to the hot pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest.

2. Warm the Tortillas

Heat tortillas in the microwave wrapped in damp paper towels for 30 seconds or warm them on a dry skillet for 10 seconds per side. Warm tortillas are easier to roll and won’t tear.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Lay a warm tortilla flat. Layer on the cooked chicken, diced avocado, shredded cheese, a spoonful of sour cream, a drizzle of Ranch, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

4. Roll It Right

Fold up the bottom edge over the fillings, tuck in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom. The tighter the roll, the better it holds together while cooking.

5. Grill or Bake

Place wraps back in the pan, seam-side down. Press gently with a spatula and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, bake at 375°F for 15–18 minutes for a crisp finish without flipping.


๐ŸŒฎ Pro Tips & Variations

  • Short on time? Use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking fresh.

  • Add crunch: Toss in black beans, corn, or shredded lettuce.

  • Like it spicy? Swap mozzarella for pepper jack or add a splash of hot sauce.

  • Low carb? Use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.


๐ŸงŠ Make Ahead & Freeze

  • Fridge: Prep and wrap ahead, store in foil for up to 2 days.

  • Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for grab-and-go lunches. Bake directly from frozen at 375°F for 25–30 minutes.


๐Ÿฝ๏ธ What to Serve With It

  • Simple green salad with vinaigrette

  • Chips and salsa or guacamole

  • Cilantro-lime rice or Mexican-style corn

  • A refreshing iced lime drink or agua fresca
