Protein
- 2 medium chicken breasts, sliced thin
Sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
Vegetables
- 1 cup lettuce, washed and chopped
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts into thin strips. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin to evenly coat and infuse flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the seasoned chicken strips for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring they stay juicy with a slight charred finish.
- Mix the Chipotle Ranch Sauce: In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing with finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Stir well to blend the smoky, spicy flavor evenly. Adjust chipotle quantity based on preferred spice level.
- Prepare the Veggies: Wash and chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and thinly slice red onions to add fresh crunch and balance the richness of the chicken and sauce.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the flour tortillas slightly. Spread a generous spoonful of chipotle ranch sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer on the cooked chicken strips, prepared vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the sides and roll up tightly to secure the fillings.
- Serve and Enjoy: Optionally grill the assembled wraps in a panini press or skillet until golden brown and cheese melts slightly. Serve immediately with desired garnishes or side dishes.
Notes
- Marinate chicken in seasoning for 15 minutes before cooking to boost flavor.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan to make them pliable and easier to roll.
- Layer veggies last or pat dry to avoid sogginess in the wrap.
- Adjust spice level gradually by varying the amount of chipotle peppers.
- Use sharp knives to ensure thin, even slices of chicken and vegetables for uniform cooking.
