Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Meat
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into very thin strips
- 1/3 cup chopped bacon
Seasonings and Toppings
- 1-2 teaspoons seasoning salt or any seasoning blend of your choice
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (adjust to taste)
Wrap Components
- Butter or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 8 to 10 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup ranch salad dressing (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Cook bacon and chicken: In a large non-stick skillet, heat over medium to medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it starts to crisp. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts and seasoning salt, making sure the chicken strips are not crowded in the pan to ensure even cooking. Cook until the chicken is golden and the juices run clear, stirring occasionally.
- Finish with cheese and onions: Lower the heat to low. Sprinkle the crispy fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and bacon mixture in the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt completely, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
- Assemble and serve: Lay several butter or iceberg lettuce leaves on each warmed flour tortilla. Spoon the cheesy chicken and bacon mixture evenly over the lettuce. Add sliced avocado and drizzle with ranch salad dressing. Roll up each tortilla tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use very thinly sliced chicken strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Seasoning salt can be substituted with your preferred seasoning blend, such as Cajun or Italian seasoning.
- Adjust the amount of crispy fried onions and cheddar cheese to your taste preference.
- Make sure the skillet is large enough so the chicken isn’t crowded, allowing proper browning and cooking.
- Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent them from breaking and makes rolling easier.
