Ingredients
Scale
Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 2 crispy chicken tenders (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup sliced red onion
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing or mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce (optional)
For Toasting
- Olive oil or butter for toasting
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Tenders: If using frozen chicken tenders, bake them according to the package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside, ensuring they are heated through.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave just until they become soft and pliable, which will make them easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing or mayonnaise evenly in the center of each tortilla. Place one crispy chicken tender on top of the dressing, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle with barbecue sauce if you prefer a smoky flavor.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward towards the center to contain the fillings, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
- Toast the Wrap: Lightly grease a skillet with olive oil or butter and place the wrap seam-side down. Toast over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the wrap is golden brown and crisp to the touch.
- Serve: Remove the wrap from the skillet, slice it in half diagonally for easy eating, and serve warm immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize your wrap by substituting ranch dressing with honey mustard or chipotle mayo for different flavors.
- Add sliced avocado or pickles inside the wrap to introduce extra flavor and texture.
- This wrap is perfect for meal prepping or a quick lunch and can easily be doubled for a group meal.
