Ingredients for Chicken Ranch Wraps

Here’s what you need:

• Cooked Grilled Chicken Breasts: About 2 cups, diced or sliced. Honestly? Grab a rotisserie chicken from the store. Life’s too short.
• Hidden Valley® Simply Ranch Dressing: 1/2 cup. The creamy, tangy magic that holds everything together.
• Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup shredded. Go for whole milk. It melts better.
• Fresh Cilantro: 1/4 cup chopped. This adds that bright, fresh flavor.

That’s it. Five ingredients.

Variations for Chicken Ranch Wraps

The good news? You can totally make these your own.

• Add Bacon: Because bacon makes everything better. That’s just science.

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

1. Prepare the Chicken

Dice or slice your cooked grilled chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

If your chicken’s cold? Warm it gently in the microwave or skillet. Room temp works too.

2. Warm the Tortillas

Here’s a little trick I learned.

Heat your tortillas for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. Wrap them in a damp paper towel first.

Or warm them individually in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.

This makes them soft and way easier to wrap without tearing.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Spread about 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing down the center of each tortilla. Not too much. You don’t want it dripping everywhere.

Add your chicken. Then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and chopped cilantro.

4. Wrap It Up

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward.

Then roll from the bottom up. Roll it tight.

This keeps everything inside where it belongs.

5. Toast the Wraps (Optional but Recommended)

This step? Don’t skip it.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place your wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.

You want them golden brown. The cheese should melt. The tortilla gets a little crispy.

It’s the difference between good and really good.

6. Slice and Serve

Cut each wrap in half diagonally.

It looks nicer. Plus it’s easier to eat.

Serving and Decoration

These wraps are delicious on their own.

But if you want to make it a full meal:

• Serve With: Tortilla chips and salsa, fresh fruit, potato wedges, or a simple green salad.
• Garnish: Extra cilantro leaves, a dollop of sour cream, or sliced avocado on the side.
• Presentation: Arrange wrap halves on a platter with cherry tomatoes and lime wedges for color.

Nothing crazy. Just simple sides that complement the wraps.

Storing Chicken Ranch Wraps

Assembled Wraps:

Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

But here’s the thing…

They’re best eaten within 24 hours. The texture starts going downhill after that.

Components:

Keep chicken, cheese, and cilantro separate in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Assemble wraps fresh when you’re ready to eat.

This is honestly the better way to meal prep them.

Reheating:

Warm wraps in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Don’t overheat them. Nobody likes soggy wraps.

Tips and Tricks for Success

I’ve made these wraps probably a hundred times. Here’s what I’ve learned:

• Use Warm Chicken: Room temperature or warm chicken melts the cheese better. It just tastes better too.
• Don’t Overfill: I know it’s tempting. But too much filling makes wraps impossible to close. And messy to eat.
• Seal Properly: That seam-side down toasting? It helps seal the wrap closed.
• Fresh Cilantro Matters: Rinse and dry cilantro well before chopping. Wet cilantro makes everything soggy.
• Choose Quality Tortillas: Fresh, pliable tortillas make the best wraps. Check the expiration date before you buy.

Chicken Ranch Wraps FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Absolutely. Cheddar, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend all work well.

Just pick a cheese that melts easily.

What if I don’t have grilled chicken?

Rotisserie chicken works perfectly. So does baked chicken. Even deli chicken slices.

Just make sure it’s fully cooked.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

You can assemble them a few hours ahead and stick them in the fridge.

But honestly? They taste best when made fresh or toasted right before serving.

How do I prevent soggy wraps?

Don’t use too much ranch dressing. That’s the main culprit.

And if you’re adding vegetables, pat them dry first. Toast the wraps to seal them.

Can I freeze these wraps?

I wouldn’t recommend it.

The tortillas and ranch dressing don’t freeze well. The texture gets weird when you thaw them.

What can I substitute for cilantro?

Try fresh parsley or basil.

Or just leave it out if you’re one of those people who thinks cilantro tastes like soap. No shame.
