How to Make Instructions

1. Prepare the Avocado Ranch: In a blender, combine the avocado, sour cream (or yogurt), pickled jalapeños, lemon juice, chives, dill, onion powder, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: Toss the grilled chicken with fajita seasoning until well coated.
3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla and spread a generous layer of avocado ranch. Top with shredded lettuce, quinoa, seasoned chicken, cheese, black beans, corn, bell pepper, and cilantro.
4. Roll Up the Wraps: Carefully roll each tortilla to ensure the filling stays inside. Cut in half to serve.

Helpful Tips

• Grill Tip: For an extra smoky flavor, grill the chicken and vegetables on an outdoor grill.
• Wrap Tight: To keep everything contained, wrap your tortillas in parchment paper or foil if you’re taking them on the go.

Substitutions/Variations

• Vegan Version: Substitute chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use vegan cheese and yogurt.
• No Avocado? No Problem: Use a base of hummus mixed with a bit of ranch seasoning for a different twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these wraps ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare all the components ahead of time. Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them fresh.
2. What if I don’t have fajita seasoning? Mix together some chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt.

Storage Instructions

Wrap the assembled wraps tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The Avocado Ranch can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
