Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
For Grilling (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, ranch dressing, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped bacon (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated and combined.
- Warm the tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas to make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking. This can be done in a microwave for about 15 seconds or in a dry skillet over low heat for a few seconds on each side.
- Assemble the wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each portion with shredded lettuce. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly into wraps to securely encase the filling.
- Grill the wraps (optional): Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. This step creates a crispy exterior and helps meld the flavors.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm. They make a perfect portable and tasty meal.
Notes
- These wraps are excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for quick lunches throughout the week.
- Feel free to add avocado slices, red onions, or substitute spinach tortillas to vary the flavor and texture.
- Using store-bought rotisserie chicken makes assembling this recipe even faster and easier.
