Step-by-step instructions
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until you can smell the aroma—about 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking it for about 1-2 minutes until it’s nice and golden.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth or milk until the mixture thickens, forming a gravy-like consistency.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, lettuce, and diced tomato.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly on each tortilla. Roll them tightly and slice in half.
- Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
How to serve Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortilla Wraps
These wraps can be garnished and served in numerous ways to elevate your meal. Consider stacking them on a platter with some dipping sauces on the side, such as additional ranch or barbecue sauce. Pair it with sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for added nutrition. A side of crispy chips or even some fruit can provide a refreshing contrast to the savory flavors of the wraps.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (which is often rare since they’re so tasty!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, make sure to use a microwave or an oven rather than frying them again, as this keeps the tortillas from getting too soggy. Alternatively, if you’re preparing these wraps ahead of time, consider assembling them without the dressing and adding that fresh just before serving to maintain crispness.
Helpful cooking tips
To get the best results with your Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortilla Wraps, consider these tips:
- Make sure the tortilla wraps are slightly warm before filling them; this makes them easier to roll without tearing.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices to the chicken mixture, such as paprika or dill.
- If you prefer a lighter wrap, try whole wheat or spinach tortillas; they pair wonderfully with the filling and pack enriched nutrients.

- Swap out ranch dressing for buffalo sauce for a spicy kick.
