Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (using rotisserie chicken for convenience works beautifully)

1/2 cup Hatch green chili peppers, diced (you can use fresh or canned)

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup shredded lettuce (choose iceberg or romaine for the best crunch)

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat tortillas make a healthier alternative)

1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional, but highly recommended for creaminess)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced Hatch chili peppers, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated and all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Warm the Tortillas: To make the tortillas more pliable, lightly warm them. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, then place each flour tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place a warmed tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spoon approximately 1/4 of the chicken mixture into the center of the tortilla. Layer on a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by the diced tomatoes, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and avocado slices if you choose to include them.

        Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly away from you, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.

          Grill or Toast (Optional): For added texture, place the assembled wraps seam-side down on a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Grill each wrap for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling and arrange them neatly on a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

                Presentation Tips: To elevate your serving, consider placing the wraps on a wooden board with a small bowl of ranch dressing at the center for dipping. Add a few sprigs of cilantro around the wraps for a pop of color. Enjoy the freshness and zest with each bite!
