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 Ranch would be delicious too.
- Salsa. For more of a kick, use 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. Can also use granulated garlic.
- Butter.
How to Make Ranch Chicken Wraps
STEP 1: Spread a 1/3 cup of shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla.
STEP 2: Add a tablespoon of Ranch dressing and salsa to each wrap.
STEP 3: Sprinkle with cheese, garlic powder, and dried basil.
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.
STEP 5: In a large skillet, melt the butter and place the chicken wraps with the seam down in the pan.
STEP 6: Cook for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat on each side until the cheese has melted and the wraps are lightly browned.
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.

Lydia Beiler
Thanks for taking the time to let me know how much you all loved them, Kristy! So happy to hear it. ☺
Diann
Do you have the nutritional values for this? My 12 year old granddaughter and myself are Diabetic and it’s hard to find foods we can eat and need the carb count in order to see how much insulin to take we need. These look great for us.
Lydia Beiler
I don’t have that, Diann. But I find My Fitness Pal really useful for that type of thing and it’s super easy to use as well. I know how tricky it can be to keep track of carbs etc. as my dad is diabetic too. Hope that helps!
Angela
Those look good. I have my 22 month old granddaughter every Thursday. Something good for us to have for lunch with fruit.
Lydia Beiler
Yes! These are perfect for lunches and all 4 of my children love them, even the pickier eaters.
Michelle
I rarely leave reviews but this simple recipe has become a staple in my home! I double or triple the recipe each time I make a batch so I can freeze the extras. Such a simple grab and go snack (easy to reheat!!) for my 3 boys!!
Lydia Beiler
I’m so delighted to hear this, Michelle! And thanks for the tip regarding freezing them too. As silly as it sounds, I never thought of doing that!
