Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 4 large tortillas
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, 2 cups of steamed broccoli florets, 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella), 4 large tortillas, 1/4 cup of ranch dressing, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, steamed broccoli florets, and shredded cheese. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Drizzle the ranch dressing over the chicken and broccoli mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until the mixture is well coated with the ranch dressing.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or a large plate. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and broccoli mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is tightly wrapped inside. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the wraps and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until they are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Once cooked, remove the wraps from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half diagonally.
- Serve the cheesy chicken broccoli wraps warm, with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the chicken and steam the broccoli in advance. Store them in the fridge, and when you're ready to cook, simply mix and wrap!
- Customize Your Cheese: While cheddar and mozzarella are classic choices, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick or gouda for a smoky flavor.
- Add Extra Veggies: Boost the nutritional value by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or even corn to the filling mixture.
- Crisp It Up: For an extra crispy wrap, brush the outside of the tortillas with a little olive oil before placing them in the skillet.
- Serve with Dips: Besides ranch dressing, these wraps pair well with salsa, guacamole, or a zesty yogurt dip for added flavor.
- Make It a Meal: Serve your wraps with a side salad or some crunchy veggie sticks to round out the meal and make it even more satisfying.
