Next, take your large flour tortilla and place a generous portion of the mixture in the center. I like to leave some space on the edges to make folding easier without any spillage! Then, fold in the sides and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. If it feels a bit messy, don’t worry; mine always do at first. Once rolled, you can warm the wraps in a dry pan for a minute on each side to make them crispier. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it for a golden finish! Finally, slice your wraps in half diagonally for a lovely presentation and serve them immediately.
Make sure to enjoy them while they’re warm. If there’s any left over (which is rare in my kitchen), these wraps store beautifully in the fridge, but I find they’re best enjoyed fresh. Trust me, the first bite, with that crunch and creamy ranch, is something you don’t want to miss!
Pro Tips for Best Results
I’ve made these wraps several ways, and if you want the best flavors, I suggest opting for good-quality bacon. I prefer to bake my bacon in the oven rather than frying it on the stove. It gets evenly crispy without the mess! Another thing I’ve learned is to mix the chicken and dressing first before adding the bacon and veggies. This final touch allows the bacon to remain crispy and not get soggy from the dressing.
Also, don’t forget to customize your dressing! While ranch is fabulous, I sometimes use a spicy chipotle ranch for an exciting kick. Just a small change can take this wrap to the next level and keep things exciting in my kitchen. Finally, always warm your tortillas before wrapping—this makes everything flexible and easy to handle.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One of the biggest mistakes I made when first trying these wraps was overstuffing them. The first few wraps turned into a big messy situation, so I learned to keep the fillings balanced. Too much filling can lead to tears in the tortilla and fillings bursting out! Also, I recommend allowing your cooked chicken to cool before shredding; hot chicken can be a bit slippery and less manageable. (See the next page below to continue…)
