Ingredients
For the Wraps
- 2 large flour tortillas burrito-size; Warm them up a bit so they're nice and flexible.
- 1 cup cooked crispy chicken strips Use store-bought frozen strips cooked, or diced leftover rotisserie chicken pan-fried quickly.
- 4 slices cooked bacon Cook till crispy!
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese Or your favorite cheese like Monterey Jack or Colby-Jack.
- 0.5 cup shredded lettuce Iceberg or romaine.
- 1 small tomato diced
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing Use your favorite bottled or homemade.
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste; Freshly cracked is best!
- Sliced avocado or red onion optional
Instructions
- Step 1: Ensure your crispy chicken strips are cooked and your bacon is cooked until crispy. Let both cool slightly. Chop chicken if needed and break bacon slices in half.
- Step 2: Warm the large flour tortillas until they are soft and pliable. This can be done quickly in a microwave (15-20 seconds) or a dry skillet (few seconds per side).
- Step 3: Lay one warm tortilla flat. Place the shredded lettuce and diced tomato in the center, leaving space around the edges. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped crispy chicken, and broken bacon slices.
- Step 4: Drizzle generously with ranch dressing. If using optional avocado or red onion, add them now.
- Step 5: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling (about an inch or two). Then, starting from the bottom edge closest to you, roll the tortilla up tightly towards the top, tucking the filling as you go.
- Step 6: (Optional crisping step) Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled wrap seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Step 7: Slice the wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately, perhaps with extra ranch for dipping.
Notes
Don't overstuff the tortillas to make rolling easier. Always warm your tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. For storage, it's best to prepare ingredients ahead and assemble right before eating. Assembled wraps can be stored for a day in the fridge but may lose crispiness; reheating is not recommended for maintaining texture.
