Wrap Ingredients
- 4 soft flour tortillas (8-inch), fresh and pliable
- 8 frozen chicken tenders, crispy and cooked
- 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce, vibrant and fresh
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing, thick and tangy
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook the frozen chicken tenders according to the package instructions until golden brown and fully cooked, ideally in an oven or air fryer for maximum crispiness. Let them cool briefly before slicing.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or microwave them covered with a damp paper towel for 10 seconds to make them soft and easy to roll without tearing.
- Slice the Chicken: Cut the hot chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces so you get a little chicken in every bite and the cheese can melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and layer a handful of shredded lettuce down the center, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and top with the sliced chicken pieces.
- Add the Ranch: Drizzle a spoonful of ranch dressing evenly across the fillings to add moisture and enhance flavor throughout the wrap.
- Wrap and Roll: Fold in both sides of the tortilla toward the center, then tuck and roll tightly from the bottom up. Press lightly to hold the wrap securely together.
- Serve or Pack: Serve immediately for maximum crunch or wrap in foil for a portable snack. They stay warm and crisp for a good amount of time.
Notes
- Use fresh, pliable tortillas to avoid cracking while rolling.
- Cooking chicken tenders in an air fryer yields the crispiest texture.
- For extra flavor, make your own ranch dressing with fresh herbs.
- Wraps can be stored in foil and kept warm for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Customize with additional veggies like tomatoes or cucumbers if desired.
