Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pack of large flour tortillas
For a twist, you might try swapping the cheddar for mozzarella or adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat. Cooking is all about making it your own, something I learned from my grandmother who never hesitated to improvise with what was on hand.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder and black pepper. Cook in the bacon grease until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of ranch dressing over each tortilla, leaving about an inch from the edges.
- Evenly distribute the sliced chicken, crispy bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese over the ranch-dressed tortillas.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, then place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven, slice into pinwheels, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Cooking has always been my sanctuary, a place where I can get lost in the process. Each step of this recipe is an opportunity to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.
