Ingredients You’ll Need
For these Chicken Ranch Wraps, you’ll only need a handful of simple ingredients:
- Grilled Chicken – Use leftover, rotisserie, or freshly grilled chicken seasoned with your favorite spices.
- Ranch Dressing – Adds creaminess and tang. Try homemade ranch for extra freshness.
- Mozzarella Cheese – Melts beautifully, but cheddar or a Mexican blend works too.

- Tortillas – 8-inch flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping.
For cooking:

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients
Chop your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Shred your cheese and mince cilantro if you’re using it.
2. Assemble the Wraps
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Add about ½ cup chicken, 1 tablespoon ranch dressing, 2 tablespoons cheese, and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
3. Roll Them Up
Fold the sides inward, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to form a neat wrap.
4. Cook Until Golden
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with oil or cooking spray. Cook each wrap for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Slice & Serve
Remove from heat, cut in half, and enjoy warm with extra ranch or a side of veggies.
