Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 6 hrs
Total Time: 6 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Pour chicken broth carefully around the chicken to ensure seasoning distributes evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and set to low heat, cooking for 6 hours until chicken is tender and easily shreds.
- Once cooking is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, allowing it to absorb the remaining ranch-flavored liquid.
- Warm the tortillas by briefly heating them in a skillet or microwave to increase flexibility.
- Layer each tortilla with shredded chicken, creating an even distribution.
- Top the chicken with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
- Carefully roll the tortillas into tight wraps, folding in the sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Slice wraps diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients are warm and fresh.
Tips
- Choose Quality Chicken: For the best flavor, opt for fresh, high-quality boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If you have time, you can also marinate the chicken in ranch dressing the night before for an extra kick!
- Layering is Key: When adding the ranch dressing mix, make sure to sprinkle it evenly over the chicken breasts to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Don’t Skip the Broth: The chicken broth not only keeps the chicken moist during cooking but also helps to distribute the ranch seasoning evenly. This is crucial for achieving that rich, ranch flavor throughout.
- Shred with Care: After cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. This allows the chicken to soak up all the flavorful juices, making it even more delicious.
- Warm Your Tortillas: To prevent tearing, warm your tortillas before filling them. A quick heat in a skillet or microwave will make them pliable and easy to wrap.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Avocado, jalapeños, or even a drizzle of hot sauce can add a personal touch to your wraps.
- Serve Fresh: For the best experience, serve the wraps immediately after assembling. This keeps the ingredients fresh and the tortillas warm, ensuring a delightful meal.
