Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Cooked Chicken: Use grilled, baked, or rotisserie chicken—whatever you have on hand. Shredded or chopped works best.
Bacon: Adds smoky flavor and crunch. Fry or bake until crispy and crumble before adding.
Ranch Dressing: The creamy star of the show—use your favorite brand or homemade ranch for the best flavor.
Flour Tortillas: Large tortillas hold the filling well and make wrapping easier.
Lettuce: Adds a fresh crunch—romaine or iceberg works great.
Tomatoes: Diced fresh tomatoes add juiciness and color.
Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheese melts slightly in the wrap for extra creaminess.
Crushed Tortilla Chips: For that extra crunch that takes this wrap to the next level.
Salt and Black Pepper: Enhances all the flavors.
Olive Oil or Butter (optional): For lightly toasting the wrap on a skillet.
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips. Add a few spoonfuls of ranch dressing and toss until everything is well coated. Adjust the amount of dressing to your taste.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable. This makes wrapping easier and prevents tearing.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay out each tortilla and place a handful of shredded lettuce down the center. Spoon the chicken mixture on top of the lettuce. Drizzle a bit more ranch if desired.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to create a wrap. For a crispy version, lightly brush the outside with olive oil or butter.
Step 5: Toast and Serve
(Optional) Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast each wrap for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Slice in half and serve immediately.
