Build Avocado Ranch Chicken Burrito Wraps Step by Step

Step 1: Make the Avocado Ranch Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), light ranch dressing, and minced fresh cilantro or parsley. Stir well until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This creamy sauce will be the heart of your wrap, bringing all the flavors together.

Step 2: Prepare the Tortillas

Warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side, or microwave them for 15-20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel. Warming makes them easier to fold and prevents tearing.

Step 3: Layer the Fillings

Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of the avocado ranch sauce down the center. Next, add about 1/2 cup of cooked chicken, followed by slices of fresh avocado and tomato. If you’re using cheese, sprinkle a little shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top.

Step 4: Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to encase all the fillings. Make sure the wrap is snug so nothing spills out when you bite in.

Step 5: Serve or Store

Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. These wraps also pack well for lunch or a picnic. For a warm, melty finish, you can toast the wrapped burritos in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Easy Ingredient Swaps

Chicken: Substitute with grilled turkey breast or cooked chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
Greek yogurt or sour cream: Use a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly sauce.
Light ranch dressing: Swap with a cilantro lime dressing for a zesty twist.
Flour tortillas: Try whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas depending on your preference.
Cheese: Use vegan cheese or omit entirely for a dairy-free wrap.

Behind the Recipe

This recipe was born from a desire to combine the creamy richness of avocado with the tangy comfort of ranch dressing, all wrapped around simple, juicy chicken and fresh produce. The combination of Greek yogurt and ranch dressing reduces fat while keeping the sauce indulgent and flavorful. Fresh herbs like cilantro add a bright, fresh note that lifts the entire dish. It’s inspired by the classic chicken wrap but elevated with an avocado ranch twist that makes it unique and crave-worthy.

The beauty of this recipe is how easy it is to customize and how well it works for meal prep. You can scale it up, swap ingredients, or even turn it into a salad bowl by skipping the tortillas entirely. It’s a versatile meal that fits into busy lifestyles without sacrificing flavor.

Storing Tips & Timelines

These Avocado Ranch Chicken Burrito Wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store them, wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Keep avocado slices separate if possible to prevent browning, or add them just before eating. If you want to reheat, unwrap and warm in a skillet or microwave until heated through. For longer storage, the cooked chicken and sauce can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days, ready to assemble your wraps fresh each day.

Your Questions, Answered

Can I make the avocado ranch sauce ahead of time?

Absolutely! The avocado ranch sauce can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container. Just give it a good stir before using. If you notice the avocado browning, a little fresh lime juice stirred in can help keep it vibrant.

What’s the best way to cook the chicken for these wraps?

Grilled, baked, or rotisserie chicken all work wonderfully. The key is to have the chicken cooked through and shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces. You can season it simply with salt and pepper or add a little paprika and garlic powder for extra flavor.

Can I freeze these burrito wraps?

While you can freeze the cooked chicken and sauce separately, freezing the fully assembled wraps is not recommended because the avocado and tomatoes can become mushy upon thawing. For best results, freeze components separately and assemble fresh when ready to eat.

Is there a way to make these wraps spicier?

Definitely! Add a few dashes of hot sauce to the avocado ranch sauce or include sliced jalapeños inside the wrap for a spicy kick. You can also sprinkle some cayenne or chili powder on the chicken during cooking for extra heat.
