06 - Heat flour tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 20 seconds until pliable.
07 - Spread 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing evenly onto each tortilla, then layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, fried chicken strips, and crumbled bacon.
08 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly to enclose the filling securely.
09 - Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
