Open-ended wraps are a great way to ensure a balanced meal. A recommended serving of protein is about 4 ounces per adult meal. To fully encase that much protein in a tortilla, you would have to use a tortilla that’s higher in carbs than advised. So I keep many of my wraps partially open. That way I can stuff plenty of ingredients in them while keeping my meals in check. In this case, it’s a balanced meal that happens to be brimming with fillings.

Preparation
Step 1
Place the tortilla on a dinner plate. Top it with the chicken in a 3-inch-wide strip down the center of the tortilla, leaving 2 inches bare on one end. (So you can fold the bare tortilla up and over part of the filling.) Top the chicken with the lettuce, followed by the salsa. Drizzle the ranch dressing evenly over the top. Fold up the bare end of the tortilla over the filling, and then fold the sides of the tortilla over the middle. Serve immediately.
