Cook the Chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing into strips. -
Cook the Bacon:
While the chicken rests, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled. -
Prepare the Tortillas:
Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface. Drizzle ranch dressing across each one. -
Assemble the Wraps:
Layer each tortilla with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, shredded cheddar, sliced chicken, and crumbled bacon. -
Wrap and Toast:
Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. For extra crunch, return each wrap to a dry skillet and toast over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp. -
Serve:
Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately while warm.
