Chicken
Chicken breasts is a great option for this chicken bacon ranch wrap recipe because it is lean, full of protein, and has a mild flavor that won’t overpower the other ingredients. The chicken is cooked until it is tender and juicy, adding great texture to the wrap. Chicken breast is also very versatile and can be seasoned any way you like. If you prefer you can use chicken thighs for this recipe.
Bacon
Crispy bacon is a must and center-cut bacon is the perfect addition to this chicken bacon ranch wrap recipe. Not only does it provide a great flavor and crunchy texture, but it also adds extra fat that can be used to cook the chicken. Center-cut bacon has less fat than other types of bacon, so it doesn’t make the wrap greasy. This means you can enjoy the flavor without worrying about it being too heavy.
Ranch seasoning
Hidden Valley ranch seasoning is used in this chicken bacon ranch wrap recipe to add an extra layer of flavor to the wrap. The herbs and spices found in ranch seasoning, such as garlic powder, onion powder and parsley, provide a savory flavor that pairs perfectly with chicken and bacon. Ranch seasoning also contains salt and pepper, which bring out the flavor of the chicken and bacon.
Ranch Dressing
I’m using Hidden Valley ranch dressing for this recipe. You can find ranch dressing next to the salad dressings in your local grocery store.
Lettuce
I like to use green leaf lettuce for this recipe because it gives a subtle crispness to the wrap and helps to make it more filling. You can use any preferred green of choice like iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, or spinach.
Fresh Tomatoes
I’m using regular vine tomatoes for this recipe. You can use any tomato of your choosing just be sure to dice or slice them based on your preference.
Cheese
I am using reduced-fat Mexican cheese for this recipe. Other good options would be shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella, blue cheese, or Monterey jack cheese. You can also choose to omit the cheese altogether if you wish.
Tortilla
I used burrito-sized flour tortillas for this grilled chicken bacon ranch wrap recipe, but you could use any size tortilla.
