- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Preparation: Shred cooked chicken into delicate, bite-sized morsels, guaranteeing a tender and succulent filling for the wrap.
- Avocado Prep: Cube ripe avocado into precise, small pieces to ensure creamy distribution throughout the mixture.
- Flavor Fusion: In a generously sized mixing bowl, amalgamate shredded chicken, diced avocado, ranch dressing, chopped tomatoes, minced red onion, and fresh cilantro, creating a vibrant and harmonious blend.
- Brightening Touch: Drizzle fresh lime juice over the mixture to introduce a tangy essence and prevent avocado oxidation.

- Textural Layers: Cascade shredded lettuce and grated cheddar cheese atop the filling to introduce crisp and melty dimensions.
- Wrapping Mastery: Fold tortilla sides inward, then execute a precise, tight roll to create a compact, leak-proof wrap.
- Presentation and Serving: Bisect the wrap diagonally for an elegant presentation, accompanied by complementary sour cream and salsa for optional embellishment.
Notes
- Prevent Avocado Browning: Lime juice acts as a natural preservative, keeping avocado fresh and vibrant by slowing oxidation.
- Tortilla Warming Tip: Briefly heating tortillas enhances flexibility and prevents cracking during wrapping, ensuring a smooth rolling experience.
- Balanced Ingredient Distribution: Dice ingredients uniformly to guarantee consistent flavor and texture in every bite of the wrap.
- Freshness Matters: Use ripe, high-quality ingredients like fresh cilantro and crisp vegetables to elevate the overall taste and nutritional value of the wrap.
