Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Cooked Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken is my go-to for this wrap. It saves time and adds flavor. If you don’t eat chicken, shredded turkey or even canned tuna can work well.
Ranch Dressing: Use your favorite brand of ranch dressing. For a healthier twist, try Greek yogurt mixed with herbs. If you need a vegan option, look for dairy-free ranch dressings available in stores.
Avocado: Fresh avocado adds creaminess. If you’re short on avocados, mashed black beans can give a similar texture. Alternatively, guacamole works great too!
Red Onion: This adds a nice crunch and bite. If red onion is too sharp for you, sweet onions or even green onions are pleasing substitutes.
Cheddar Cheese: I like sharp cheddar for its flavor. Pepper Jack cheese can add a nice kick. For a dairy-free option, try vegan cheese shreds.
How Do You Fold a Wrap Properly to Keep It Together?
Folding a wrap correctly is key to prevent spills and enjoying every bite. Here’s how to do it right:
- Place the filling in the center, leaving space on the edges.
- Fold the sides in toward the center first, trapping the filling.
- Then, starting from the bottom, roll it away from you while tucking in the filling as you go.
- Make it snug, but not too tight—this helps to keep everything inside!
Practicing this will make you a pro in no time! Making great wraps is all about the method and having fun with it.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken and ranch dressing. Mix everything together so the chicken is well-coated with the dressing. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and give it another gentle mix.
