Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Bacon
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into very thin strips
- 1/3 cup chopped bacon
- 1-2 teaspoons seasoning salt or any preferred seasoning blend
Additional Fillings
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (adjust to taste)
- Butter or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup ranch salad dressing (or more to taste)
Wraps
- 8 to 10 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed
Instructions
- Cook bacon and chicken: In a large non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat, cook the sliced chicken together with the chopped bacon and seasoning salt. Make sure the chicken pieces are spread out and not crowded in the pan to ensure even cooking. Cook until the chicken turns golden brown and the juices run clear, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Finish with onions and cheese: Reduce the heat to low, then add the crispy fried onions and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir gently and cook until the cheese fully melts and combines with the other ingredients, creating a savory, melty filling.
- Assemble and serve: Place several crisp lettuce leaves on each warmed tortilla. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken, bacon, cheese, and onion mixture over the lettuce. Top with slices of fresh avocado and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Roll the tortillas tightly to form wraps and serve immediately.
Notes
- Slice chicken breasts very thin for quicker, even cooking.
- Seasoning salt can be substituted or customized with your favorite seasoning blends such as Cajun or garlic herb.
- Adjust crispy fried onions and cheddar cheese to your desired amount for preferred crunch and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking chicken to ensure it browns properly instead of steaming.
- Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
