How to Make Chicken Bacon Wraps

Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or your favorite creamy dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing. Mix well to coat.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing over the center of the tortilla.
  3. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture, crumbled bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese in the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches on each side.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Place the wraps seam-side down on a cutting board. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, try adding sliced avocado or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • To make these wraps ahead, wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • If you prefer a warm wrap, toast the assembled wrap in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.

Serving Suggestions for Chicken Bacon Wraps

These wraps pair wonderfully with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh fruit salad. For a lighter option, serve them with a simple green salad dressed with vinaigrette. The wraps are also great for picnics or packed lunches, as they hold up well when wrapped tightly.
