Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Chicken: 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (rotisserie works great)
  • Bacon: 4 slices center-cut or turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Wraps: 4 whole-wheat or high-fiber tortillas (8–10 inches)
  • Ranch base: 3/4 cup plain nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt
  • Ranch seasoning: 1–2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
  • Leafy greens: 2 cups shredded romaine or green leaf lettuce
  • Tomatoes: 1 cup diced tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes
  • Cucumber: 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • Red onion: 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Cheese (optional): 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella or cheddar
  • Fresh herbs (optional): Chopped dill, chives, or parsley
  • Lemon juice: 1 teaspoon (optional, for tangier ranch)
  • Olive oil: 1 teaspoon (optional, for sautéing or moisture if using very lean chicken)
  • Salt and pepper: To taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the bacon: Bake or pan-cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble. For a lighter option, use turkey bacon and cook until just crisp at the edges.
  2. Make the ranch: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with ranch seasoning. Adjust to taste. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of pepper. If you like it thinner, add 1–2 teaspoons water.
  3. Prep the chicken: Shred or chop cooked chicken. If it seems dry, toss with a teaspoon of olive oil and a spoonful of the ranch to keep it moist.
  4. Prep the veggies: Wash and dry the lettuce. Dice tomatoes, slice cucumbers, and thinly slice red onion. Pat tomatoes and cucumbers dry to avoid a soggy wrap.
  5. Warm the wraps: Briefly warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds so they’re pliable and less likely to tear.
  6. Assemble: Spread 1–2 tablespoons ranch down the center of each wrap. Layer lettuce, chicken, bacon, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Add cheese if using. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
  7. Roll it tight: Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, tucking as you go. Slice in half on the diagonal for easy eating.
  8. Serve: Enjoy right away, or wrap tightly in parchment for a portable lunch.
