Ingredients for Chicken Ranch Wraps

Here’s what you’ll need to make these creamy, cheesy wraps (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Chicken Breasts: Lean protein, cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces.
• Ranch Dressing: Creamy base that ties the flavors together.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Melts beautifully for gooey texture.
• Cilantro (optional): Adds freshness and a hint of herb flavor.
• Tortillas (8-inch): Soft and pliable, perfect for wrapping.

Variations for Chicken Ranch Wraps

• Add Crunch: Toss in shredded lettuce, cucumber, or bell peppers for a fresh bite.
• Make It Spicy: Use spicy ranch or add sliced jalapeños for heat.

How to Make Chicken Ranch Wraps Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Chop cooked, seasoned chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. You can use freshly grilled chicken or leftover chicken from another meal.

2. Mix with Ranch

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with ranch dressing until evenly coated.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Lay tortillas flat. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese in the center of each tortilla, then add the ranch-coated chicken.

4. Add Extras

If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro or add your favorite vegetables.

5. Fold and Heat

Fold the tortillas tightly into wraps. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wraps seam side down. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.

Serving Ideas

Chicken Ranch Wraps are best enjoyed warm, straight from the skillet. Here are a few ways to serve them:

• With a side of crispy fries or roasted potato wedges.
• Alongside a fresh garden salad for a lighter meal.
• Cut into halves or thirds for party appetizers or lunchbox bites.

Storing Chicken Ranch Wraps

• Refrigerator: Store cooked wraps in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before eating.
• Freezer: Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Warm Tortillas First: Heating tortillas briefly makes them softer and easier to roll.
• Don’t Overfill: Use moderate filling so the wraps hold together without bursting.
• Cheese First: Placing cheese under the chicken helps it melt and bind the wrap.
• Crisp It Up: For extra crunch, brush the wraps lightly with olive oil before pan-searing.
• Use Leftovers: Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe and saves time.
