Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 4 pieces Flour Tortillas (Whole wheat tortillas can be used for a healthier option)
Fillings
- 2 pieces Crispy Chicken Breasts (Use leftovers or air-fried tenders)
- 4 slices Crispy Bacon (Turkey bacon can be substituted)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Switch to pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick)
- 2 cups Chopped Romaine Lettuce (Can use spinach or arugula)
- 1 cup Diced Tomatoes (Can brighten up the wrap visually)
- To taste Pickles
Dressings & Sauces
- 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing (Blue cheese or Caesar dressing can be used)
- To taste Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Warm Tortillas: Begin by warming your flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave until they’re soft and pliable, making them easier to roll without cracking.
- Spread Dressing: Generously spread ranch dressing along the center of each warmed tortilla to add creamy flavor and moisture.
- Layer Lettuce: Place a handful of chopped romaine lettuce evenly over the ranch dressing to add freshness and crunch.
- Add Chicken: Place the crispy chicken breasts evenly on top of the lettuce, ensuring each wrap has a good protein base.
- Top with Bacon: Sprinkle the crispy bacon slices over the chicken for a smoky, savory flavor.
- Include Cheese: Add a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top to bring creaminess and richness to the wrap.
- Customize: Drizzle additional ranch dressing or hot sauce over the fillings to enhance flavor according to your taste preference.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of your tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose all the fillings securely.
- Toast: Cook the wraps in the skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, and the cheese melts inside.
- Serve: Slice the wraps diagonally in half and serve warm, perfect for a hearty lunch or casual dinner.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat tortillas and turkey bacon.

- Feel free to swap romaine lettuce with spinach or arugula for different greens.
- Optional additions such as diced tomatoes and pickles add freshness and tang.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce and ranch dressing for desired spice and creaminess levels.
