EASY CHICKEN WRAPS RECIPE

Sana Umer
These smoked paprika chicken wraps come together in just 30 minutes and taste nothing like bland weeknight chicken. The spice rub is what transforms simple pan-cooked chicken breast into something actually worth eating, and I let everyone build their own with whatever toppings we have on hand.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing or sauce of choice
  • ¼ cup sliced cucumbers or avocado (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon of ranch dressing on each tortilla.
  • Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers (if using), and shredded chicken. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to form a wrap.
  • Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Prepare all ingredients ahead of time and assemble the wraps when ready to eat. Great for meal prep and packed lunches.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Add bacon, sautéed onions, or a spicy chipotle sauce for a flavorful twist. Swap ranch with hummus or tzatziki for variety.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of sweet potato fries, a fresh green salad, or chips and salsa for a complete meal.
  • Allergy-Friendly Options: Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version. Dairy-free cheese and sauces can make this recipe suitable for those avoiding dairy.
  • Storage Tips: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Best served fresh for optimal texture.
