05 - In a separate pan over medium heat, cook beef bacon until crispy, then drain excess fat and crumble into pieces.
06 - Briefly warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 20 seconds to improve pliability.
07 - Spread 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing on each tortilla, layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, fried chicken strips, and crumbled bacon.
08 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly to enclose the fillings.
09 - Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately to enjoy optimal crispness and freshness.
