Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie works great)
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito style)
- Optional: chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, or green onions for extra freshness
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare garlic butter: Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix filling: In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar, and ranch dressing. Mix until evenly coated.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out a tortilla and spoon a generous portion of the chicken-bacon-cheese mixture onto the center. Add optional veggies if desired. Fold in sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
- Cook wraps: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the outside of each wrap with garlic butter. Place wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and cheese is melted inside.
- Serve immediately: Slice in half for easier handling. Serve with extra ranch, salsa, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips for Perfect Chicken Ranch Wraps
- Cook bacon first: Ensures crispy texture and avoids soggy wraps.
- Don’t overfill: Prevents the wrap from bursting during cooking.
- Garlic butter: Brushing the wraps adds flavor and ensures a golden, crispy exterior.
- Optional veggies: Lettuce, tomato, or green onions add freshness and color.
Serving Ideas
- Pair with a simple side salad for a balanced meal 🥗
- Serve with chips or fries for a hearty lunch 🍟
- Add a dipping sauce like ranch, chipotle mayo, or honey mustard for extra flavor 🥄
- Great for picnic lunches, packed lunchboxes, or casual dinner nights 🌯
Storage
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
- Freeze: Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet or oven until warmed through.
- Avoid microwaving for long: Microwaving can make the wrap soggy. Heat briefly or use an oven/skillet for best results.
Variations
- Spicy: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- Cheesy delight: Use a combination of mozzarella and cheddar for extra meltiness.
- BBQ twist: Replace ranch with BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor.
- Vegetarian: Swap chicken and bacon for sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or tofu with ranch and cheese.
