Ingredients

  • 1-2 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp Salt 
  • 1 tsp Pepper 
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Chili Powder 
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ¼ tsp Italian Seasoning 
  • Pinch of Cayenne 
  • Olive Oil 
  • Tortillas 
  • Spinach or Lettuce
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Ranch 
  • Optional: Bacon
  • Optional: Avocado (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Mix the seasonings in a small bowl and set aside. 
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the chicken strips and gently rub it in.
  3. If you’re using bacon, prepare it now according to the package instructions or your preferred method. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease for cooking the chicken. I like to cook the bacon in a skillet, then remove it and cook the chicken in the same skillet with the remaining bacon grease. 
  4. If you’re not using bacon, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken strips on one side for 2–3 minutes over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the chicken, and cook for another 2–5 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked through, prepare the wraps. Take a tortilla and drizzle BBQ sauce and ranch down the center. Put down a few strips of chicken, then bacon, and then top with avocado, cheddar cheese, and spinach or lettuce. 
  6. Roll, serve, and enjoy!

Notes:

  1. I really love the Tortilla Land ready to cook fresh flour tortillas (which I highly recommend). Start cooking them while the bacon or chicken cooks. The goal is to have them warm and ready when the chicken is finished.
  2. You can choose to skip the tortillas, and make these as a lettuce wrap instead! 
  3. Choose a BBQ sauce and Ranch that you like. You can also substitute another dressing if you’d prefer, such as a cilantro lime dressing.
  4. If you’re looking for a lighter and more budget-friendly option, feel free to skip the bacon. Just heat up the olive oil and cook your chicken.

These wraps pair nicely with sweet potato fries and fresh fruit.  I hope you love them as much as we do! They happen to be my 2-year-old’s very favorite dinner.
