Useful Wrap Tips
Chicken bacon ranch wraps are totally easy to make, but sometimes getting a tortilla to stay in place takes a little finesse. Use these tips to ensure your wrap doesn’t unravel.
- Warm up the tortillas: Warm up the tortillas in the microwave or on a large skillet on medium heat to make pliable tortillas. This makes them easier to roll without breaking. I picked up this useful tip as a teen working at a fast food restaurant.
- Use a toothpick: An easy way to hold the wrap together is to stick a toothpick through the center.
- Wrap it in aluminum foil: Use aluminum foil to encircle the chicken wrap to secure it.
- Avoid overstuffing: As tempting as it is, avoid overstuffing the wrap. Too much chicken mixture causes the tortilla to unravel.
Wrap Add-ins
This wrap is full of delicious chicken and bacon that complements many other flavors. Get creative and make a few additions that will make your taste buds sing and dance.
- Spices: Add fajita seasoning or red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for a little heat.
- Pickled veggies: Mix in pickles, pickled onions, or pickled jalapenos for an added burst of tangy flavor.
- Fresh veggies: Add your favorite fresh veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, etc. for added nutrients and tasty goodness.
- Greens: Amp up your greens by adding romaine lettuce, spinach, or sprouts.
- Cheese: Monterey jack, pepper jack, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese are great options to add for cheesy flavor.
- Dressing: Add a splash of hot sauce to the ranch dressing for a spicy kick. Or, add honey dijon mustard for a sweet and savory flavor. Alternatively, add a splash of this addicting creamy tomatillo dressing.
Hot tip: Make your own decadent light ranch and be impressed with the fresh, rich flavor.
Serving Ideas
Chicken ranch wraps are delicious and filling on their own. However, if you’re looking for good side options, a simple serving of fruit and veggies is great. Or, take it up a notch and pair them with these appetizing side dishes.
- Soup: Tomato basil soup is a refreshing and savory soup that tastes great with a chicken wrap. Dipping the wrap into the soup is a must!
- Salad: This ultimate garden salad is a light and nutritious side. It adds a variety of textures that complement the chicken wrap.
- Chips: Air fryer potato chips are a quick way to make homemade chips. Serve these irresistible potato chips for a satisfying salty crunch.
- Fries: Homemade french fries are the perfect sidekick for wraps. Season the fries with cajun seasoning for a little heat that pairs well with this creamy, cool wrap.
Storage Options
Prepared chicken wraps and the chicken filling are best stored in the refrigerator for later use. Follow these tips to ensure freshness and optimal flavor.
- Assembled wraps: Store the assembled wraps for up to a day in the refrigerator. Eat them up quickly to avoid them from becoming soggy.
- Chicken ranch filling: Store a batch of chicken ranch filling for up to three days in an airtight container in the fridge. It saves time to have the chicken mixture ready to go when assembling the wraps and preparing lunch.
