Ingredients (Serves 4)

No fancy jargon, just stuff you can grab at any store:

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts (or use rotisserie chicken to save time)
  • 6 strips bacon (thick-cut for crunch; Oscar Mayer or Applegate for no-nitrate option)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced (look for slightly soft skin)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (Danish or Gorgonzola work; skip if you’re anti-funk)
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 4 large flour tortillas (Mission “Burrito Size” or whole wheat for extra fiber)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing (Hidden Valley or Bolthouse Farms yogurt-style for lighter option)
  • Salt, pepper, and olive oil (just eyeball these)

Prep Work: Let’s Get Organized

  1. Bacon Time: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil, lay bacon strips flat. Bake 15–20 mins until crispy. Blot grease with paper towels, then crumble.
  2. Eggs 101: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat, cover, and let sit 10 mins. Cool in ice water, peel, and chop.
  3. Chicken Duty: Rub chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pan-sear over medium heat 6–7 mins per side until cooked (or bake at 375°F for 25 mins). Shred or slice.
  4. Chop Squad: Slice avocado, chop lettuce, crumble blue cheese.

Pro Tip: Do all this the night before! Store ingredients in separate containers.

Assembly Line: Wrap It Like a Pro

  1. Warm Tortillas: Microwave for 10 seconds or heat in a dry skillet to make them pliable.
  2. Layer It Up: Spread 1 tbsp ranch down the center. Top with lettuce, chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, and blue cheese.
  3. Fold Like a Boss: Fold sides of tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Secret Hack: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or honey for sweet/heat vibes.


Serving: Make It Instagram-Worthy
