- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for warming tortillas)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken (If Homemade):
- Use pre-cooked frozen tenders or make homemade ones by coating chicken strips in seasoned flour, dipping in egg wash, and frying until golden.
-
Warm the Tortillas:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with oil.
- Warm each tortilla for 10-15 seconds per side, just until pliable.
-
Assemble the Wraps:
- Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface.
- Add a crispy chicken tender in the center.
- Top with shredded lettuce and cheese.
- Drizzle with ranch dressing.
-
Fold and Serve:
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up, then roll tightly from one side to the other.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Add diced tomatoes, crispy bacon, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Swap ranch for honey mustard or chipotle sauce for a twist.
- For a healthier option, use grilled chicken instead of fried.
Food safety: if you cook the chicken yourself, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA and Health Canada.
