Description
These Crispy Bacon Ranch Chicken Wraps are the ultimate quick lunch or weeknight dinner—juicy chicken, smoky bacon, crisp lettuce, and cheddar tucked in a tortilla and seared until golden with a creamy ranch kick.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded (rotisserie or leftover)
- 6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (plus more for dipping)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar (or Colby Jack)
- 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 1 small tomato, seeded and diced
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 small avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or chives (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1–2 tbsp butter or neutral oil (for the skillet)
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook bacon until crisp and crumble. Toss chicken with ranch, garlic powder, and black pepper.
2. Warm tortillas briefly so they’re pliable.
3. Assemble each wrap: Spread ranch down the center; layer chicken, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado. Add herbs if using.
4. Fold tightly: Fold sides inward, then roll from the bottom to form a snug wrap, seam-side down.
5. Skillet crisp: Heat butter or oil over medium. Cook wraps seam-side down 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, pressing gently with a spatula.
6. Air fryer option: Lightly oil wraps and air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping once, until browned and crisp.
7. Rest 1–2 minutes, slice on the diagonal, and serve with extra ranch and lemon wedges.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken saves time; grilled or leftover breaded chicken also works.
For heat, add buffalo sauce or use pepper jack.
Make-ahead: Assemble without watery veggies; crisp just before serving.
Gluten-free? Use sturdy GF tortillas and handle gently when searing.
For extra crunch, add a few crushed tortilla chips before rolling.
