- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Mexican Blend)
Instructions
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken breast until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
- Allow the chicken to rest for about five minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Assemble all your ingredients on a clean surface: tortillas, ranch dressing, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and shredded cheese.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of ranch dressing over each tortilla using the back of a spoon.
- Layer the sliced grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and shredded cheese starting from one side of the tortilla.

Notes
Storage: To store leftover Chicken Ranch Snack Wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. For best results, keep the ingredients separate until ready to eat to maintain freshness, especially the lettuce and dressing.
Reheating: To reheat the Chicken Ranch Snack Wrap, unwrap it and place it in a microwave-safe dish. Heat on medium power for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can place it in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through for even heating.
Serving: Serve the Chicken Ranch Snack Wraps with a side of extra ranch dressing for dipping, or accompany them with fresh vegetable sticks and a light fruit salad for a balanced meal. These wraps are great for lunch, a quick dinner, or as a picnic snack.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor and texture, consider marinating the grilled chicken breast in your favorite spices or a bit of lime juice before cooking. You can also add sliced avocado or jalapeños for an extra kick!
