Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Bake or air-fry chicken tenders according to package instructions, or make your own by coating chicken strips in seasoned breadcrumbs and pan-frying until golden.

Step 2: Assemble the Wrap

Warm tortillas slightly in a pan or microwave to make them flexible. Lay out each tortilla and layer in the following order:

  1. A bed of lettuce
  2. Sliced or whole chicken tenders
  3. Crumbled bacon
  4. Chopped tomatoes and onion
  5. Shredded cheese
  6. Drizzle with ranch dressing

Step 3: Roll It Up

Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito. For best results, secure with a toothpick or wrap in foil.

Step 4: Toast (Optional but recommended)

Place the wrap seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Press gently with a spatula and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.


Tips

  • Use pre-cooked chicken tenders or nuggets to save time.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and bake the chicken instead of frying.
  • Toasting the wrap adds extra crunch and helps seal everything inside.
