Total Time: 25 minutes
Serving Size: 1 plate

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados sliced
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • Juice of half a lime

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Skillet or grill pan
  • Tongs
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Measuring spoons

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or grill pan over medium heat. You want the pan hot enough to sear the chicken nicely without burning the spices.
  2. Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil. This helps create a golden crust and keeps the chicken juicy. Next, evenly coat with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If you have the time, you can let it sit for a few minutes to deepen the flavor.
  3. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If your chicken breasts are thick, consider slicing them lengthwise before cooking so they cook faster and more evenly. Set aside and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips. Resting locks in those savory juices.
  4. While your chicken cooks or cools, prepare the avocado. Slice it and drizzle immediately with lime juice. This helps stop browning and adds a light citrusy flavor that brightens the wrap wonderfully.
  5. Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Think of it as building each wrap like you would a sandwich. Start by layering some romaine lettuce, followed by diced tomato. Add avocado slices and chicken strips on top. Spread the ingredients down the center and avoid overfilling — this makes rolling easier.
  6. Drizzle one tablespoon of ranch dressing over the filling in each tortilla. That creamy tang brings everything together with just the right amount of moisture and zest.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll from the bottom up tightly to form a wrap. If your tortillas are stiff, warm them briefly for 5 to 10 seconds in the microwave to make them easier to roll.
  8. Slice the wraps in half if you like, or leave them whole. Serve right away for the freshest bite that still has that warm chicken and cool avocado magic.

For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan and do not skip the lemon zest. Leftovers keep well for 2 days in the fridge.

FAQ

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Yes, just thaw them completely in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water. Pat them dry before seasoning so you get that perfect sear in the pan.

What can I use instead of ranch dressing?

You can try Caesar dressing, chipotle mayo, or even a little plain Greek yogurt with herbs. All of them bring a creamy element while adding their own twist to the flavor.

What if I do not have romaine lettuce?

Any crisp green will do. Try green leaf lettuce, baby spinach, or shredded iceberg. Even arugula can add a peppery bite that pairs nicely with the chicken.
