EASY CHICKEN WRAPS RECIPE
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.
