High-Protein Chicken Ranch Wrap (Low Cal & Meal Prep Ready) - A Simple, Satisfying Lunch

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Cooked chicken breast (2 cups shredded or chopped; rotisserie chicken works too)
  • High-protein tortillas (4 large, 70–110 calories each)
  • Romaine lettuce (2 cups, shredded)
  • Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved) or diced Roma
  • Red onion (1/4 cup, thinly sliced)
  • Cucumber (1/2 cup, thinly sliced or diced)
  • Light ranch dressing (1/3–1/2 cup, or Greek yogurt ranch)
  • Grated Parmesan or shredded reduced-fat cheddar (1/4 cup, optional)
  • Seasonings: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried dill or ranch seasoning blend
  • Fresh herbs (optional: chopped chives or parsley)
  • Lemon juice (1–2 teaspoons, optional for brightness)

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken: Toss cooked chicken with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little dried dill or ranch seasoning. Add a squeeze of lemon if you like it bright.
  • Mix with ranch: In a bowl, combine the chicken with light ranch. Start with a small amount and add more until lightly coated—not dripping.
  • Prep the veggies: Shred the lettuce and slice the tomatoes, onion, and cucumber. Pat tomatoes and cucumber dry with a paper towel to avoid a soggy wrap.
  • Warm the tortillas: Briefly heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side. This makes them softer and easier to roll.
  • Assemble: Lay out a tortilla. Add a bed of lettuce, then spoon on the chicken ranch mixture. Top with tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and a sprinkle of cheese or herbs if using.
  • Wrap it tight: Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, keeping everything snug. If meal prepping, wrap in foil or parchment.
  • Optional sear: For a toasty exterior, place the wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
