Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)
- 6 slices of crispy bacon
Vegetables and Cheese:
- 1 cup (120 g) shredded lettuce
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (120 g) diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup (60 g) red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Seasonings and Additional Components:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup (120 ml) ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for toasting
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by seasoning chicken with an aromatic blend of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear the chicken in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, cooking until golden and reaching 165F internal temperature.
- Allow the chicken to rest briefly, then slice into delicate strips, ensuring tender and juicy pieces.
- Select a fresh tortilla and create a creamy base by spreading ranch dressing across the center of the wrap.
- Construct flavor layers by arranging crisp lettuce, succulent chicken strips, crumbled bacon pieces, melty cheese, vibrant diced tomatoes, and optional zesty red onions.
- Carefully fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll from bottom to top, creating a compact and secure wrap.
- Enhance texture by gently toasting the wrap in a buttered skillet, positioning seam-side down and cooking until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Slice the wrap diagonally to reveal the enticing layers and serve immediately with additional ranch dressing for dipping, creating a satisfying handheld meal.
Notes
- Swap chicken for grilled tofu or tempeh to create a vegetarian-friendly version that maintains the wrap’s delicious flavor profile.
- Prepare chicken in advance and store in refrigerator for quick meal prep during busy weekdays, keeping chicken slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Choose low-fat ranch and turkey bacon for a lighter alternative that reduces calories without compromising taste and texture.
- Toast wraps in a panini press or indoor grill for even crispier exterior and faster cooking method, ensuring uniform golden-brown coloration.
