Variations
Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with roasted chickpeas, black beans, or tofu for a plant-based version.
Add Spice: Mix a bit of hot sauce into the ranch dressing for a kick of heat.
Low-Carb Version: Use large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps instead of whole wheat tortillas.
Extra Crunch: Add sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or even a handful of crushed tortilla chips.
Protein Boost: Include boiled eggs or turkey slices for additional protein.
Storage/Reheating
If you have leftovers, I recommend wrapping them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and storing them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The avocado might brown slightly, but it won’t affect the flavor. To reheat, unwrap and warm the wraps in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds, though they are best enjoyed fresh.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of tortilla?

I find that hummus, garlic aioli, or even a light vinaigrette make great alternatives to ranch dressing.

Yes, I can prepare them a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge. For the best taste, I keep the avocado and sauce separate until just before serving.
