1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
If using fresh chicken: Cook in a skillet with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until golden and cooked through. Shred or slice.
Toss warm chicken with BBQ sauce in a bowl until fully coated.
Assemble the Wraps:
Warm tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them flexible.
Spread 1–2 tablespoons ranch dressing down the center of each tortilla.
Layer with BBQ chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, and any optional extras.
Wrap It Up:
Fold in the sides and roll up tightly into a burrito-style wrap.
Serve:
Serve as is, or toast on a skillet or grill pan seam-side down for a golden, crispy finish (2–3 minutes per side).
Notes & Tips:
Want to make it spicy? Use spicy BBQ sauce or add pickled jalapeños.
Swap ranch for chipotle mayo or Greek yogurt ranch for a healthier twist.
Make it low-carb with lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas.
