Let’s Get Started! Here’s What You’ll Need:

Ingredients

Chicken - For convenience, use pre-cooked chicken, such as baked, grilled, or rotisserie chicken breast; however, you can also cook it fresh.

Bacon -  This adds the quintessential salty richness to the bacon chicken ranch wraps. For ease, I recommend using cooked bacon, but you can bake, air-fry, or sauté it fresh if desired.

Tomatoes - Add a pop of juicy, fresh flavor. I prefer grape tomatoes for their sweetness, but you can also use cherry or chopped Roma tomatoes.

Ranch Dressing - It wouldn’t be a chicken ranch wrap without some creamy ranch dressing! It’s an essential flavoring ingredient, so use your preferred brand.

Tortillas - For the easiest wrapping, use 10-inch, burrito-sized flour tortillas. For a flavor variation and additional pop of color, use spinach or sundried tomato tortillas.

Cheese - Cheddar cheese slices add richness and a savory creaminess to the bacon chicken wrap, balancing the flavors. Don’t have cheese slices? Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the chicken filling.

Lettuce - Iceberg lettuce leaves add a light crunch. Wash and dry them well before assembling the chicken bacon ranch wraps to keep the tortillas from getting soggy.

Equipment:

Cutting Board and Knife - We will use these to dice the chicken breast, halve the tomatoes, and chop or crumble the bacon.

Mixing Bowl - A small or medium-sized bowl is perfect for tossing the chicken, bacon, and tomatoes with the ranch dressing. If preparing the mix ahead, choose a bowl with a lid for easy storage.

Silicone Spatula - For stirring the chicken filling mixture. If preferred, you can also use a small wooden spoon.

Salad Spinner - Optional, but if you have one this makes drying the lettuce leaves easier.

How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps

Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Filling

Combine the diced chicken breast, crispy bacon, and halved grape tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Stir in the ranch dressing until combined.

Prepare Tortillas

Place a large tortilla on a plate or a large, flat surface. Break or cut each cheese slice in half, then place the two halves side by side with the short edges touching. Top the cheese with lettuce and repeat this process with the remaining tortilla.

Assemble and Roll Wraps

Divide the chicken bacon wrap mixture evenly between the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll up the wrap tightly from the bottom. Slice the wrap in half crosswise or on a slight diagonal. Enjoy!

Recipe Success Tips

• Use large lettuce leaves and cheese slices. Prevent soggy tortillas by using whole lettuce leaves and cheese slices. They form a barrier between the moisture-rich filling, keeping the tortillas tender and dry. If rinsing the lettuce fresh for assembly, be sure to dry it well before adding it.
• Don’t overfill. Even though we’ll be using burrito-sized tortillas, too many fillings will make the wraps hard to roll. Keep this in mind when adding extra vegetables or extra add-ins; the wraps should roll easily if you use the directed ingredient amounts.

Meal Prepping Instructions

When made with the lettuce barrier surrounding the chicken filling, the chicken ranch wraps can be prepared and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one day in advance.

If meal prepping, store the filling, tortillas, lettuce, and cheese separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and assemble the evening before or morning of.

Recipe Variations

Adjust this chicken bacon wrap to your liking with any of the following adaptations, being careful not to overfill the wraps so they are still easy to roll.

• Veggies — Swap romaine, baby spinach, or baby greens for the iceberg lettuce, stir diced sweet bell peppers into the filling instead of halved tomatoes, or sprinkle the filling with sliced green onions, black olives, sliced avocados, or shredded cabbage.
• Spicy — Stir spicy ranch or diced jalapeños into the filling or drizzle it with your favorite hot sauce before rolling.
• Protein — Substitute leftover diced turkey, crumbled ground chicken, or chopped chicken or turkey lunch meat for the cooked chicken.
• Cheese — Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, white cheddar, or Colby Jack are all delicious cheese alternatives.
• Panini — Enjoy a warm, melty chicken bacon ranch burrito by omitting the lettuce and cooking the assembled wraps in a panini press or on a cast iron skillet over medium heat until heated through and golden brown.
• Fried Chicken — For a crispy chicken bacon wrap, toss the bacon and tomatoes with the ranch before layering it on the wraps, topping with fried chicken tenders, and rolling.

Serving Suggestions 

Enjoy this wrap as an easy lunch, paired with potato or tortilla chips, carrot sticks or sliced fruit. Or, pair them with any of the following sides for a light but filling dinner:

• Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli
• Green Beans with Bacon and Onion
• Air Fryer Broccoli and Cheese Sauce
• Air Fryer Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Storage Directions

• Refrigerating: Leftover chicken bacon ranch wraps keep covered in an airtight container for up to 1 day. For longer storage, pack the filling, wraps, lettuce, and cheese separately and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Freeze the tortillas separately from the filling in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. If you intend on freezing the filling in advance, omit the tomatoes, as their texture can break down upon thawing. Defrost them overnight in the refrigerator until thawed through, and then assemble with fresh lettuce and cheese.
