Step-by-step instructions
- Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, just about 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour to form a roux, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.

- Mix in the shredded chicken and crumbled bacon, cooking until everything is heated through.
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and divide the chicken-bacon mixture among them evenly.
- Top with the shredded lettuce and cheese.
- Roll the tortillas tightly to form wraps and slice them in half for serving.
- Drizzle with extra ranch dressing if desired for added flavor.
Best ways to enjoy it
To elevate your presentation, consider serving these wraps on a colorful platter lined with fresh greens. Pair them with a side of carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or sweet potato fries for a satisfying crunch. For dipping, set out additional ranch dressing or a tangy BBQ sauce. The flavor combinations are endless, making these wraps suitable for a variety of occasions.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (though they’re usually gobbled up quickly!), store the wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a skillet over low heat until warmed through or pop them in the microwave for about a minute. Note that storing them with the lettuce and cheese separately will keep it fresh longer.
Pro chef tips
- For added flavor, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the filling.
- If you like a little kick, try using spicy ranch dressing or add a splash of hot sauce.
- To save time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken – it’s a real game-changer!
Creative twists
Feel free to experiment with different ingredients. How about adding some sautéed bell peppers or a sprinkle of feta cheese for a Mediterranean spin?
