These wraps first happened in my kitchen on one of those days when lunch needed saving, fast. I wanted something filling but not heavy, something that had a bit of warmth from the chicken and bacon and that cool, creamy crunch in every bite. The combo of salty bacon, tender chicken, and ranch dressing checked every box.
Since then, I’ve made them more times than I can count, and they’ve officially earned a regular place in my recipe rotation. They’re perfect for busy weekdays, lazy weekends, lunchboxes, or casual get-togethers when everyone just wants something easy, handheld, and genuinely good.

Ingredients
For the Wrap Filling:
- 3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
- 8 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembling:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 lettuce leaves
Step by Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Bacon
Start by cooking the bacon until crisp. Use a skillet over medium heat and turn the strips so they brown evenly. Once crispy, transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Chop into small pieces once cooled. Crisp bacon adds texture, so take your time here.
2. Mix the Creamy Base
Grab a large bowl and add the mayonnaise and ranch dressing. Stir until smooth and fully blended. This combo creates the creamy backbone of the wraps. Season lightly with salt and pepper, keeping in mind the bacon already adds salt.
3. Add Chicken and Veggies
Drop the chopped chicken into the bowl along with celery and parsley. Stir gently so everything coats evenly without breaking the chicken apart too much. The celery adds crunch while parsley keeps the flavor fresh.
4. Fold in the Bacon
Sprinkle the chopped bacon into the mixture and give it a final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. At this point, the filling should look creamy, chunky, and balanced.
5. Warm the Tortillas
Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave. Warm tortillas roll easier and prevent tearing. Lay them flat on a clean surface.
6. Assemble the Wraps
Place lettuce leaves down the center of each tortilla. Spoon the chicken bacon ranch mixture on top. Spread it evenly so every bite gets filling.
7. Roll and Serve
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Slice in half if desired and serve right away while everything tastes fresh.
Tips and Variations
For extra flavor, try adding shredded cheddar or mozzarella to the filling. A pinch of garlic powder also works great if you want a deeper taste.
- If you like heat, mix a little hot sauce or chopped jalapeños into the ranch base.
- Swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or spinach wraps for a lighter feel.
- Grilled chicken works beautifully here and adds a smoky touch.
- To keep wraps from getting soggy, store filling and tortillas separately until serving.
Serving Suggestions
Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps pair well with simple sides. Serve them with kettle chips, fries, or a light fruit bowl for balance. A cold pasta salad or coleslaw also fits nicely alongside.
When I make these for casual get togethers, I cut them into halves and line them up on a platter. They disappear fast, especially with extra ranch on the side for dipping.
