Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1/2 cup chipotle ranch dressing
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tortillas
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cook the chicken breast if it is not already cooked, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. You can use a fork or your hands for this.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of chipotle ranch dressing. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Next, take your cooked bacon and crumble it into small pieces. You should have about 1 cup of crumbled bacon. Add this to the chicken mixture and stir until the bacon is evenly distributed.
- Now, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl and mix it into the chicken and bacon mixture. This will add a creamy texture and enhance the flavor.
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can microwave them for about 10-15 seconds. This will make them more pliable and easier to wrap.
- To assemble the wraps, place a generous portion of the chicken, bacon, and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill them to avoid spillage.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to create a tight wrap. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to keep the filling secure.
- Once all wraps are assembled, you can serve them immediately or heat them in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish the wraps with fresh cilantro before serving for an added burst of flavor and color.
- Enjoy your delicious Chipotle Chicken Bacon Ranch wraps with your favorite sides or dips!
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use freshly cooked and shredded chicken instead of pre-packaged. The texture and taste will be significantly better.
- Toast your tortillas briefly to enhance their flavor and make them more pliable. This prevents cracking when you roll your wraps.
- Don't overfill your wraps – this can make them difficult to roll and prone to tearing. Aim for a generous but manageable amount of filling.
- If you want extra crispiness, lightly pan-fry the assembled wraps seam-side down to create a golden, crunchy exterior.
- For a healthier version, consider using whole wheat tortillas and Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing.
- Prep your ingredients in advance to make assembly quick and easy, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
- Experiment with additional toppings like diced jalapeños, avocado, or a sprinkle of extra cheese to customize your wraps.
