Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
To begin making your Chicken Ranch Wraps, start by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, mix olive oil, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, and salt. Coat the chicken breasts with this marinade and allow them to rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
While the chicken marinates, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts onto the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Ensure the chicken is cooked evenly on both sides. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it into small strips.
Step 3: Prepare the Tortillas
While the chicken is resting, heat a tawa (flat pan) over medium flame. Place the tortillas on the pan, one at a time, and cook for about 1 minute on each side until they are slightly crispy and lightly browned. Stack the cooked tortillas and set them aside.
Step 4: Assemble the Wrap
Now that all your components are ready, it’s time to assemble the wraps. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean working surface. Start by placing a layer of fresh lettuce leaves on the tortilla. Follow this by adding the grilled chicken strips, diced cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and diced onion.
Step 5: Add the Flavors
Drizzle ranch sauce generously over the ingredients. Then, sprinkle black pepper powder to taste and top with grated cheese. The cheese will melt slightly, making the wrap even more delicious and savory.
Step 6: Fold and Grill
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly into a wrap. Place the wrap on a hot grill pan and cook for a couple of minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden and crispy. The grilling step will help the cheese melt completely, making each bite extra creamy and flavorful.
Step 7: Serve
Once cooked, remove the Chicken Ranch Wraps from the grill and slice them into halves or thirds for easy serving. Serve hot, paired with a refreshing Maple Roasted Cinnamon Spiced Latte and a lovely Vegan Guilt-Free Chocolate Espresso Mousse for a complete meal experience.
Tips & Variations
- Vegetarian Version: Replace the chicken with grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms for a vegetarian version of this wrap.
- Add More Toppings: For extra crunch, add some crispy bacon strips or toasted nuts. You can also include some avocado for a creamy texture.
- Make It Spicy: If you enjoy spicy food, add some jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the ranch sauce for an extra kick.
- Wrap Alternatives: Use whole-wheat tortillas or gluten-free wraps for a healthier alternative.
Chicken Ranch Wraps are a quick, delicious, and customizable dish that’s sure to satisfy your hunger and taste buds. Whether you enjoy them for lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer at your next party, these wraps are a simple and delightful treat for any occasion. Enjoy!
