👨🍳 How to Make Buffalo Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
If using frozen chicken tenders, bake or air fry them according to the package. Slice into strips. If using fresh grilled chicken, toss in warm buffalo sauce until well coated.
Step 2: Build Your Wrap
Lay out each tortilla. Layer ingredients in the center in this order:
-
Shredded lettuce
-
Shredded cheese
-
Buffalo chicken strips
-
Crumbled bacon
-
Drizzle of ranch dressing
-
Optional toppings like tomato or avocado
Step 3: Roll It Up
Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
Step 4: Grill to Crispy Perfection
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter or oil. Grill each wrap seam-side down for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and grill the other side.
