Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito size; use gluten-free if needed)
  • Fresh spinach or romaine leaves (optional, for crunch)
  • 1 small tomato, diced (optional)
  • Chopped green onions (optional)
  • Hot sauce or sriracha (optional)
  • Extra ranch for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 2 cups of cooked chicken in a medium bowl. Chop or shred into bite-sized pieces if needed. Warm slightly if cold.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet with garlic. Sprinkle in ranch seasoning, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Turn off the heat and stir in ranch dressing until the filling is creamy but not soupy.
  5. Lay out 4 large tortillas. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded cheese down the center of each. Top with chicken mixture, then add spinach or romaine, diced tomato, and green onions if using. Add extra cheese if desired.
  6. Fold the sides of each tortilla in, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Place seam-side down in the warm skillet.
  7. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden and crispy with melted cheese inside.
  8. Slice wraps in half and serve hot with extra ranch or hot sauce if desired. Let cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and dairy-free ranch. For gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Don’t burn the garlic—keep heat moderate and stir constantly. Layer cheese under and over the filling for extra meltiness. Store leftovers wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months (without fresh veggies). Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
