Ingredients
2 medium chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
2 teaspoons paprika (sweet or smoked)
8 slices of bacon (thick or thin, depending on preference)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite semi-hard cheese)
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 tablespoons ranch dressing (per wrap)
4 x 10-inch tortillas
2 medium tomatoes (sliced thin into circles)
4–5 cups lettuce (Romaine or butter lettuce, trimmed)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. If needed, pound the chicken to an even thickness using a meat mallet (cover with plastic wrap). Set aside.
Crisp the Bacon: In a large non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease.
Cook the Chicken: In the same pan (with the bacon fat), cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides (approximately 4 minutes per side). Add cooking oil if needed in between batches. Set aside and cover with foil while you prepare the wrap ingredients.
Assemble the Wraps: On each tortilla, spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing, leaving about 1 inch from the edge. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by tomato slices and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add Bacon and Chicken: Place one slice of crispy bacon on each wrap, top with the cooked chicken breast (sliced or whole), then add another slice of bacon on top.
Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom up, making sure to hold the sides tightly as you roll.
Grill (Optional): If desired, place the wrapped tortillas on a dry pan over medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step will help crisp the tortilla and melt the cheese inside.
Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately for a crispy, satisfying meal!
Notes
Meal Prep: You can cook the chicken and bacon ahead of time, and store them separately in the fridge for 1-2 days. Assemble the wraps when you’re ready to eat.
Make it Healthier: Use whole-wheat tortillas or a lower-fat dressing to make this wrap a bit healthier. You can also swap out the cheddar for a lighter cheese, or use a different type of lettuce for added crunch.
Extra Flavors: For extra flavor, try adding a drizzle of hot sauce, sriracha, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for some heat.
