Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
If using grilled chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder before cooking. If using rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces for easy wrapping.
2. Mix the Sauces
In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and ranch dressing. Stir well to create a tangy, creamy blend that will coat the chicken perfectly.
3. Assemble the Wrap
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of the BBQ ranch sauce over the center of the wrap. Layer the cooked chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, red onion, and bacon on top.
4. Wrap It Up
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up, securing all the ingredients inside. If necessary, use a toothpick to hold it together.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately. For extra flavor, drizzle with additional BBQ ranch sauce before eating.
