Chicken Bacon Ranch Roll-Ups – Page 2

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Bacon

Cook the chicken: If you haven’t already, cook the chicken breasts. You can grill, bake, or pan-sear the chicken. Once cooked, shred it using two forks or a stand mixer.
Cook the bacon: While the chicken is cooking, fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Once crispy, remove from the pan and crumble it into small pieces.

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Stir until well combined.
Add shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and mix again. Taste the filling and add salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Roll-Ups

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken-bacon-ranch mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
Spread the filling evenly, leaving about 1-inch of space from the edges.
If desired, add some shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor and crunch.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go. Secure it by rolling until the edges are tucked in.

Serve and Enjoy!

Slice the roll-ups into 1-2 inch slices, creating little pinwheels.
Arrange the slices on a plate and garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later!

Tips & Variations

Make it Spicy: Add sriracha sauce, hot sauce, or sliced jalapeños to the filling for some heat.
Cheese Variations: If you’re not a fan of cheddar, try using Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Mozzarella for a different flavor.
Use Tortillas with Flavor: Swap regular tortillas for spinach, tomato basil, or flour tortillas with herbs for an extra flavor twist.
Meal Prep: These roll-ups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them a perfect make-ahead meal for lunches or snacks.
Add Veggies: For added nutrition, toss in some shredded carrots, spinach, or sliced cucumbers to make these even more hearty and fresh.
