What Are Ranch Chicken Wraps?

Also known as Chicken Ranch Wraps, these delicious wraps are filled with crisp veggies, delicious chicken and topped off with your favorite ranch dressing. They are great for lunches and easy dinners and travel well if packed properly.

Dietary Ingredient Swaps

If you have certain dietary restrictions, here are some suggestions for making this recipe work for you.

Keto Wraps

This applies to people who follow a low-carb eating plan as well.

Tortillas – Use a keto tortilla or an egg wrap.

Tomatoes – Limit the tomatoes. You don’t have to cut them out completely, but keep the amount small.

Dressing – There are lots of keto ranch dressing recipes on the web. Make sure you use a keto-friendly ranch dressing.

Vegan Wraps

Tortillas – Make sure you use vegan wraps. There are lots of them on the market.

Chicken – There are lots of vegan options for chicken. You can find some of them here on the My Darling Vegan blog.

Cheese – Use vegan cheese.

Dressing – Use a vegan ranch dressing. (See recipe link below)

Gluten-Free Wraps

Tortillas – Use a gluten-free tortilla or wrap.

Dressing – Read ingredients carefully. Ranch dressing can have lots of gluten in it. The better option is to make your own to be safe. See the suggestions below.

Dairy-Free Wraps

Tortillas – Make sure there are no dairy-based ingredients in your tortillas.

Cheese – Either use vegan cheese or omit the cheese altogether.

Dressing – I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dairy-free ranch in stores, but it’s possible. Your best bet is to make your own, so you know exactly what’s in it. See recipe suggestions below.

Ranch Chicken Wrap Recipe Additions & Variations

If you want to use breaded chicken, I recommend making your own at home. Bread a chicken breast, cook it, and then slice it instead of shredding it.

Add corn, carrots, onion, garlic, basil, hot sauce, broccoli, bell peppers, or any other crispy veggies you prefer.

Add a few cooked slices of bacon for chicken, bacon, and ranch wraps.

You can also add fresh herbs such as cilantro, dill, basil, or parsley.

Add or substitute any sauces you prefer, such as honey mustard dressing or Thousand Island dressing.

How To Cook Chicken For Wraps

The best pieces of chicken to use here are either boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs. You can also use chicken tenders.

You can season them any way you like, but make sure the seasonings will go well with the ranch dressing. I personally just used salt and pepper. But you can certainly use any spices you like in any amount you like.

How To Shred Chicken The Easy Way

You can certainly use forks to shred your chicken. But the fastest, easiest way to shred chicken is with an electric mixer/beater. You can use anything from a hand-held mixer to a KitchenAid mixer. Use the standard whisk, style beater, and shred. Start on low speed and build up speed as the chicken becomes more shredded.

What To Serve With Ranch Chicken Wraps

Even an easy meal needs a side. You can even meal prep these sides for a well-rounded, grab-n-go, easy lunch.

• Roasted vegetables
• Beans
• Potato salad
• Green salad
• Soup
• Fries
• Chips
• Fresh fruit
• Small cup of ranch dressing for extra dipping or any sauces you prefer.

Ingredient Checklist

Whole wheat flour tortilla – No sugar added, or use any wrap you want to use.

Lettuce – Any lettuce will work. Use your favorite.

Cooked chicken breast – Cook any way you prefer (see options above), and shred it as finely as possible.

Avocado – Sliced.

Shredded cheddar cheese – Or any grated cheese you prefer. Pepper Jack is another good one.

Grape tomatoes – Sliced in half.

Ranch dressing – See recipe links above if you need to make it.

How To Make Ranch Chicken Wraps

Lay a tortilla on a flat work surface or plate.

Chop or shred some lettuce (I used romaine lettuce). Spread the lettuce over the tortilla.

Spread the shredded chicken over the lettuce.

Add the avocado and spread as needed.

Sprinkle on the grated cheese.

Add the tomatoes.

Drizzle on the ranch dressing.

Roll up the wrap as tightly as you can without tearing the wrap. If your wrap is large enough, you can also roll these up burrito-style with the ends tucked in. Your choice.

Slice the wrap in half.

Serve.

How To Store Ranch Chicken Wraps

These will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days if you store them without the dressing. The dressing will make the tortillas soggy if they sit that long. Make sure to wrap each individual wrap in either foil or plastic wrap and then store them in an airtight container.

Can You Freeze Ranch Chicken Wraps?

In theory, you can freeze these. I would do so without the dressing, though. I haven’t tried to freeze these, but there is nothing outside of the dressing that would be harmed by the freezer. If you do freeze them, I would not do so for more than 2 months.

Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then pack them together in a freezer bag.

How To Reheat A Chicken Ranch Wrap

You can reheat these on a plate in the microwave for about 20-40 seconds on high heat.
