ingredients needed to make easy ranch chicken wraps

Chicken Ranch Wrap Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas. We like the larger size, around 9 to 10 inches.
  • Cooked Chicken. Canned chicken makes this super quick and easy, but rotisserie chicken or any cooked, shredded chicken will work well.
  • Ranch Dressing. I just use plain Ranch, but flavored Ranches would be delicious too.
  • Salsa. For more of a kick, use a hot salsa.
  • Shredded Cheese. Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican blend all work well.
  • Dried Basil. If you have fresh basil, feel free to substitute it instead
  • Garlic Powder.
  • Butter.

STEP 4: Fold the sides over the filling in each tortilla. Then bring the bottom up tightly over the filling and roll to the top. The seam side should be down.

Expert Tips and Variations

  • Topping ideas. Before rolling each wrap, add in your favorite toppings such as avocado, black beans, corn, or sour cream.
  • Spicy wraps. Use jalapenos, a dash of cayenne pepper, or chilis for more heat.
  • How to freeze chicken wraps. After the wraps have cooled completely, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for later where they will stay fresh for up to 2 months. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees.

Instructions

  • Spread 1/3 c. chicken down the center of each tortilla.
