Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the ingredients. If you haven't done so already, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, drained and rinsed black beans, and halved cherry tomatoes. Mix gently to combine.
- Add the crumbled bacon to the chicken and bean mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the bacon throughout the mixture.
- Drizzle the ranch dressing over the chicken, bean, and bacon mixture. Gently fold the dressing in until everything is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the romaine lettuce by separating the leaves. Wash and dry them thoroughly to remove any dirt or moisture.
- To assemble the Chicken BLT Bean Lettuce Tomato wraps, take a leaf of romaine lettuce and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the leaf.
- Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling and then roll it up from the bottom to create a wrap. Repeat this process with the remaining lettuce leaves and chicken mixture.
- Once all wraps are assembled, serve immediately on a platter. You can also serve with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Chicken BLT Bean Lettuce Tomato wraps as a fresh and satisfying meal!
Tips
- Meal Prep Magic: Cook extra chicken and bacon ahead of time to make this recipe lightning-fast on busy days.
- Crispy Bacon Secret: Use a paper towel-lined plate when cooking bacon to absorb excess grease and ensure maximum crispiness.
- Lettuce Wrap Hack: Choose the largest, most intact romaine leaves for the best wrap structure and easiest eating.
- Flavor Boost: Try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chopped cilantro or a dash of hot sauce for extra excitement.
- Make It Your Own: Experiment with different dressings like chipotle mayo or avocado ranch to customize the flavor profile.
- Keep It Fresh: Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent the lettuce from getting soggy.
