How to Make Healthy Grilled Chicken Ranch Wraps:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prep the Chicken: Start by patting your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This ensures they’ll cook evenly. Rub them with olive oil, then season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors soak in for about 5–10 minutes while you heat your grill.
  2. Grill to Perfection: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 5–7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The smokiness from the paprika will give the chicken an irresistible flavor. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cools, chop your romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and shred the carrots. Arrange these colorful veggies in small bowls for easy assembly.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side. This makes them pliable and ready for rolling.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing in the center. Layer with a handful of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and shredded carrots. Add a few strips of grilled chicken on top.
  6. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom. Slice the wrap diagonally for that professional touch, and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips:

  • Make It Ahead: Grill the chicken in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This makes meal prep a breeze.
  • Add More Flavor: For extra zest, sprinkle some fresh chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley into the wrap.
  • Customize It: Swap out ranch dressing for a spicy chipotle mayo or a tangy Greek yogurt tzatziki for variety.
  • Keep It Crisp: If you’re packing the wraps for later, store the dressing separately and add it just before eating to prevent sogginess.

Wrap each assembled wrap tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Keep the dressing separate for best results.

Grilled shrimp, turkey slices, or even tofu make excellent substitutes for chicken.

Storage Instructions:
