Cook the bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
If not using pre-cooked chicken, grill or sauté chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then slice or shred.
Warm the Tortillas
Warm each tortilla in a skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them easier to fold.

Lay a tortilla flat.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing in the center.
Add ½ cup chicken, 2 slices of bacon, some lettuce, diced tomato, and ¼ cup of shredded cheese.
Optional: Add red onions, avocado slices, or pickles for extra flavor.
Wrap It Up

Serve or Grill (Optional)
Serve as is or grill the wrap in a panini press or skillet for 2–3 minutes per side to get a crispy exterior and melt the cheese.

FAQs – Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap
1. Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare wraps up to 1 day in advance. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate. Leave out ingredients like tomato or lettuce if you want to avoid sogginess.
2. Can I use a different protein?
Absolutely. Turkey, ham, tofu, or even plant-based chicken alternatives work well.
3. Is it freezer-friendly?
Not recommended. The lettuce and tomato don’t freeze well and the wrap may get soggy.
4. What’s the best way to reheat it?
If you’ve grilled the wrap, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, or in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving if you want a crisp texture.
5. How do I make it healthier?
Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas
Swap ranch for Greek yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning
Use turkey bacon or less cheese
Load up on extra veggies like spinach, peppers, and cucumbers
