Chicken Ranch Wrap Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for making Fiesta Ranch Chicken Wraps:
Chicken – I cooked chicken breast in the slow cooker with homemade ranch to make the ranch chicken. However, feel free to use leftover cooked, shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken!
Homemade or Store-bought Ranch Dressing – The herbs for the homemade fiesta ranch in this recipe, mixed together with plain yogurt, is what takes these ranch chicken wraps to the next level! You can also use a store-bought fiesta ranch (like hidden valley) to make this and any other ranch chicken recipes.
Tip: It’s best to use whole milk yogurt if possible! Another option is to use sour cream.
Whole Wheat Tortillas – Lavash bread, (opens in a new tab) spinach wraps, or whole wheat flour tortillas (opens in a new tab) are all great options for chicken wraps.
Chopped Spinach – You can use any type of spinach, but I like to chop it up first before adding it to the tortillas. Not a fan of spinach? Chopped romaine lettuce works great, too!
Bell Peppers – Freshly sliced bell peppers (any color) are amazing in this recipe!
Grape Tomatoes – Sliced grape tomatoes add so much flavor. Feel free to use chopped tomatoes, too!
Corn/Beans – Canned corn and cooked beans (opens in a new tab) (of any type) add flavor, texture, and so much nutrition.
Avocado – You can’t leave out the creamy avocado slices! Avocado really brings the flavors all together in these tasty wraps. So yummy!

Has anyone tried making chicken with an instant pot?
Oh wow these were amazing they had so much flavor and the whole family loved them so much. Everybody should try these. Definitely making them again
So glad your family enjoyed this! Thanks for giving it a try!
I followed the recipe exactly as written, adding only a half teaspoon of the optional crushed red pepper, and man it was SPICY. Like mouth-on-fire spicy haha. Great wraps and will make again, but will probably chill out on the crushed red pepper/chipotle seasoning next time 🙂
This chicken turns out so flavorful. It was delicious in the wrap. I used the leftovers for stuffed baked potatoes. Both turned out excellent.
I am OBSESSED with this chicken wrap!!! I just love the bright, fresh flavors and that it was simple to prepare. I’m definitely adding it to my weekly lunch rotation.
