Ingredients for this Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 large tortillas
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain, then crumble when cool.
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry pan or microwave so they’re flexible.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ranch dressing. Start with about half the dressing and add more to taste.

Frequently asked questions
Is this wrap good for meal prep?
Yes. You can assemble the fillings and store them separately from the tortillas for a day or two. When you’re ready to eat, just wrap and go. If you assemble in advance, drizzle a little extra ranch to prevent the wrap from drying out.
Can I make this wrap healthier?
Absolutely. Swap in a whole-wheat or high-fiber tortilla, use light ranch or Greek yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning, and load up with extra lettuce and tomatoes. You’ll still get great flavor without piling on calories.
What’s a good way to spice it up?
Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of paprika to the chicken-ranch mix. Jalapeños or pickled peppers also work well if you like a little heat. It’s easy to tailor to your spice tolerance.
