If you’re looking for a quick and easy meal to make, these BBQ Chicken wraps are the thing. 

To make these wraps, we start off by making the ranch dressing, then putting the dressing in the refrigerator to chill and to let the flavors meld together while we cook the bacon and chicken. After the chicken is cooked and covered with a reasonable amount of Pepper Jack Cheese, we give the mixed greens, onion, tomato and pepperoncini a quick toss in the ranch dressing. Then all that’s left is to assemble the wraps. The combo of flavors in these wrap are really amazing and they’ll likely become a new family favorite.

BBQ Chicken Wraps Recipe

• Chicken. These wraps can be made with chicken breasts (you’ll need 2 large breasts) or thighs (you’ll need 4 smaller thighs), but you can also use poached chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken. You’ll need 2 cups of chopped or shredded chicken to make 4 wraps.
• Bacon. We use turkey bacon for this recipe. If cooked right, it can taste just as good as pork bacon, and it has less fat and fewer calories.
• Cheese. Pepper Jack cheese is a soft Monterey Jack cheese with small flecks of jalapeno pepper throughout. It adds a really great flavor to these wraps.
• BBQ Sauce. We like to use Bullseye Original BBQ Sauce for this recipe, but Sweet Baby Rays Original BBQ Sauce or Stubb’s Original BBQ Sauce are also really good, or use whatever you favorite BBQ sauce is.
• Greens. We use spring mix tossed lightly in our Homemade Ranch Dressing. The combo of ranch and BBQ sauce flavors makes this wrap really tasty. If you want to switch things up, toss the greens in our  Chipotle Ranch Dressing, BBQ Ranch Dressing or our Jalapeno Ranch Dressing instead.
• Tomato.  We like to use either Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes for these wraps.
• Pepperoncini.  We love adding pepperoncini to these wraps!
• Flour Tortillas. We use burrito size flour tortillas then cut them in half. Our favorite brand of flour tortillas to use is Guerrero.

How To Make BBQ Chicken Wraps

• Cook Bacon. Heat 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet.  Carefully lay the turkey bacon slices into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. After the skillet has cooled, wipe it clean, then heat 2-3 more tablespoons of oil in it.
• Cook Chicken. Add the chopped chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Lower heat and sprinkle grated Pepper Jack cheese over the chicken and put the lid on the skillet. Cook another minute until cheese is mostly melted.
• Warm Tortillas. Using a clean skillet, heat each tortilla in the skillet over medium-low heat so the tortillas a soft and easier to work with.
• Make Wraps. Divide the chicken evenly on the flour tortillas (about 1/2 cup per wrap). Adding more BBQ sauce and cheese if you like. Toss the mixed greens, sliced onion, chopped tomato and pepperoncini in a bowl with 3-4 tablespoons ranch dressing and toss so everything is lightly coated. Divide the mixed greens over the BBQ chicken. Roll the tortilla burrito-style, folding in the ends as your roll to enclose the chicken and greens.
• Enjoy. Serve with extra ranch dressing and BBQ sauce if you like.

Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe

This buttermilk ranch dressing comes together in a pinch, but you’ll want to refrigerate it up to an hour (longer even better) to allow the flavors to really blend together. If you want a more flavorful ranch dressing, add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, seasoning to a blender plus 1 chopped garlic clove and 1 chopped green onion, then blend for about 30 seconds until smooth. This is how we make ranch most of the time.

• Mayonnaise. Use a good real mayonnaise like Best Foods (Hellman’s).
• Buttermilk. This adds a richness to the flavor of the dressig.
• Seasoning.  We use a combination of dried dill weed, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked black pepper. This seasoning combination gives this homemade ranch dressing its classic flavors.
