Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into very thin strips
- 1/3 cup chopped bacon
- 1-2 teaspoons seasoning salt or any seasoning blend you like
Toppings and Wraps
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (adjust to taste)
- Butter or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 8 to 10 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup ranch salad dressing (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Cook bacon and chicken: In a large non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat, cook the chopped bacon first until crispy. Add the thinly sliced chicken strips and seasoning salt or your preferred seasoning blend. Cook without crowding the chicken to ensure even browning, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and the juices run clear, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Finish with toppings: Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the crispy fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and bacon mixture in the skillet. Cover or cook just until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to incorporate the toppings evenly.
- Assemble and serve: Lay several butter or iceberg lettuce leaves on each warmed flour tortilla. Spoon an ample amount of the cheesy chicken-bacon mixture on top of the lettuce. Add sliced avocado and drizzle with ranch dressing. Roll up the wraps tightly and serve immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to slice the chicken very thin for quick cooking and tender texture.
- Seasoning salt can be substituted with your favorite spice blend for personalized flavor.
- Crispy fried onions add a great crunch but can be adjusted based on preference.
- Use a large skillet and avoid crowding the chicken to ensure it browns properly instead of steaming.
- Warming tortillas beforehand helps with pliability and prevents tearing when rolling.
