Easy How-To

Cooking the Chicken

Alright, first things first, let’s get that chicken going! You want to pan-fry or grill those chicken strips until they’re golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. Just don’t rush it, give them some time to really develop flavor. It’s all about that juicy texture, right?

Warming the Tortilla

Then, while the chicken’s cooking, warm your tortilla slightly… just a quick low-heat flip on each side for like 10-15 seconds. This helps it get nice and pliable—trust me, you’ll thank me later when you wrap it up.

Assembling the Wrap

Once the chicken’s done, lay that warm tortilla flat. Now, place those chicken strips in the center like they’re getting ready for a cozy nest!

Topping it Off

Next, it’s time to load it up! Add your shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese, and just imagine how colorful and fresh it all looks.

Drizzle with Sauce

Who can resist a good drizzle? Add your ranch dressing—or whatever sauce you fancy—right on top of the toppings. It’s like the cherry on top, but, in this case, it’s the sauce!

Wrapping it Up

Now, fold the sides of that tortilla inward and roll it tightly from the bottom up. You want it secure but not too tight that the contents burst out when you take a bite. That’s the trick!

Serve and Enjoy

Cut the wrap in half if you like, and serve it straight away with some extra dipping sauce on the side. Trust me, the first bite is always the best!

Good to Know

• If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some hot sauce or jalapeños for an extra kick.
• Experiment with your favorite proteins—shrimp or even tofu could work really well here.
• Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge, but try to eat them within a couple of days for the best taste!

Serving Ideas

• Pair your snack wrap with a side salad or some crispy chips; it makes for a killer combo.

Top Tricks
