Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 2 chicken breasts (grilled or baked, seasoned with salt, pepper, and herbs)
  • 6 slices crispy bacon

Produce

  • 1 cup fresh lettuce, shredded
  • 4 slices tomato
  • Optional: sliced avocado
  • Optional: sliced red onions

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing (classic buttermilk or preferred variety)

Bread & Wraps

  • 2 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat/gluten-free tortillas as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Grill or pan-sear them over medium heat until fully cooked and juicy. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain moisture, then slice thinly for the wrap.
  2. Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess grease and maintain crunchiness.
  3. Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of ranch dressing evenly over its surface to prevent dryness. Add a bed of fresh shredded lettuce, followed by tomato slices, sliced chicken, and crispy bacon strips. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top to add melty, rich flavor.
  4. Roll It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla carefully, then roll it tightly from one end to the other, ensuring all ingredients are secured inside for a compact, portable wrap.
  5. Optional Step – Toast the Wrap: To add a crispy exterior, grill the wrap on a panini press or skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked chicken for the best flavor and juiciness, avoiding pre-cooked or frozen options.
  • Pat bacon dry with paper towels after cooking to keep it crispy and prevent sogginess inside the wrap.
  • Warm the tortilla slightly before assembling to soften it, making rolling easier and preventing cracking.
  • Do not overfill the wrap to avoid it falling apart or being difficult to eat.
  • Prepare fillings in advance if needed, but assemble the wrap just before serving for optimal freshness.
