Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add thinly sliced cucumbers or bell peppers to the wrap.
• Substitute ranch dressing with a spicy chipotle sauce for a smoky twist.
• Use baked or grilled chicken tenders instead of fried for a lighter option.
• Warm the wraps slightly after assembling for a melty, comforting texture.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, warm briefly in a skillet or microwave until heated through, though the tortilla may be less crisp afterward. Assembling fresh wraps is recommended if possible.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade chicken tenders instead of frozen?

Yes, homemade chicken tenders cooked until crispy work just as well and add a personal touch to the wrap.

What can I use if I don’t have ranch dressing?

Mayonnaise mixed with a little garlic powder and dried herbs makes a simple substitute. Alternatively, any creamy dressing or sauce you enjoy can be used.

• For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
• Customize the vegetables by adding sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers for extra freshness and crunch.
• If you prefer a spicier flavor, mix hot sauce into the ranch dressing before drizzling.
• For added protein, consider adding cooked bacon bits or avocado slices to the wrap.
• Store any leftover wraps in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
