Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create these delicious wraps:
- Prepare your wrap base: Lay your lettuce wraps or keto tortillas flat on a clean, flat surface like a cutting board.
- Add the chicken: Layer on the thinly sliced chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, spreading it evenly across the wrap.
- Layer the veggies: Add thinly sliced Roma tomatoes as the base. If using optional veggies like bell peppers or green onions, layer them on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Add the creamy goodness: Spread homemade ranch dressing or ranch-seasoned cream cheese over the filling for that tangy, rich flavor.
- Optional toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack for extra creaminess. Add crispy strips of bacon for a smoky, savory boost.
- Roll and secure: Fold in the sides of the wrap, then roll it tightly into a compact wrap. Use plastic wrap to hold it together if packing for later.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice in half for easy handling, and serve immediately or pack in an airtight container for a meal on the go.
Pro Tip: If using a tortilla, warm it slightly in the microwave or on a nonstick skillet over medium heat for easier rolling.
Recipe Tips and Ingredient Swaps
- Take shortcuts: Save time by using rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken instead of cooking fresh.
- Add a spicy kick: Drizzle with chipotle ranch, sriracha, or sprinkle with red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Cheese swaps: Swap cheddar cheese for colby jack or sharp cheddar to change up the flavor.
- Low-carb wraps: For a keto-friendly version, use lettuce wraps or cheese wraps instead of tortillas.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store assembled wraps in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For better texture, keep the components separate and assemble just before eating.
- Freeze the bacon: Cook and freeze crispy bacon strips in a ziplock bag for up to 1 month. They’ll be ready to add to wraps anytime.
- Store leftover wraps: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for freshness. Reheat in an air fryer or skillet for a crisp finish
FAQ
Q: Can I use raw chicken for this recipe?
A: Yes, but cook it fully to an internal temperature of 165°F before adding to the wraps.
Q: Are these wraps keto?
A: Yes, when you use keto tortillas, cheese wraps, or lettuce wraps. Avoid flour tortillas for a lower carb count.
Q: What are the best sides for these wraps?
A: Pair with fresh fruit, roasted veggies, or a small side salad. For keto options, try cauliflower rice or zucchini fries.
Q: How can I reheat these wraps?
A: Wrap them in foil and warm in an air fryer or oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. Avoid reheating in the microwave to keep the wraps from getting soggy.
Q: Is ranch dressing keto?
Not all ranch dressings are keto friendly. Some store-bought ranch dressings may contain added sugar, starch, or other ingredients that can increase the carb count and affect your ketosis. You can make your own keto ranch dressing with Greek yogurt, which is lower in carbs and higher in protein than regular ranch dressing.
