Ingredients
Makes 4 wraps:
- 2 cups cooked crispy chicken tenders (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
How to Make Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps
Step 1: Warm the Tortillas
Heat each tortilla in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds until warm and pliable. This makes them easier to roll without tearing.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Lay the warm tortillas flat and layer each with:
- A handful of shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Crispy chicken pieces
- A slice of bacon (or chopped, if preferred)
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Drizzle ranch dressing evenly over the top.
Step 3: Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito-style wrap. Try to keep the filling packed in to avoid spills.
Step 4: Toast for Extra Crisp
For added crunch and melty cheese, place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. These are great with extra ranch or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Tips for Success
- Homemade chicken: Use panko-coated chicken strips baked in the oven for a fresher option.
- Crispier wraps: Brush tortillas lightly with olive oil before toasting.
- Make it spicy: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños inside.
- Meal prep: Assemble ahead of time and toast before serving.
Delicious Variations
- Buffalo Chicken Wrap: Toss the chicken in buffalo sauce before assembling
- Southwest Style: Add black beans, corn, and avocado
- Veggie Boost: Add sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or spinach for extra crunch
- Low Carb Option: Use a low-carb tortilla or large lettuce leaves to wrap
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Assemble ahead: Prep the wraps without toasting and store in the fridge for up to 2 days
- Reheat: Toast in a skillet or panini press for best texture
- Freezer-friendly: Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 1 month (toast from frozen)
What to Serve With Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps
- Crispy potato wedges or sweet potato fries
- A side salad with ranch or vinaigrette
