Southwest Chicken and Bacon Wraps image

Southwest Chicken and Bacon Wraps are packed with flavor and a family favorite in the making.

Provided by Thriving Home

Categories     Wrap

Time 2h14m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds chicken tenders (or you can use chicken breasts)
1 batch of Southwest Chicken Marinade
8 slices (about a half pound) bacon, fully cooked and crumbled (try our No Fail Bacon method)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (or shredded cheddar)
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
1 or 2 batches of Creamy Southwest Ranch Sauce (sub: combine 1:1 ratio of salsa and store-bought Ranch Dip)
8 burrito-sized whole wheat tortillas

Steps:

  • In a gallon-sized freezer bag or container, add the chicken to the Southwest Chicken Marinade. (Freezing instructions begin here.) Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-24 hours.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates well. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, maybe longer depending on the thickness, until done. Chicken is done when it registers 165°F internally or has no more pink inside. Let chicken rest on a cutting board and then dice into bite-sized pieces. (See other ways to cook your chicken in notes below.)
  • To each tortilla, add some grilled chicken, bacon pieces, 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons Creamy Southwest Ranch Sauce. Roll up like a burrito. Serve more Creamy Southwest Ranch Sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
  • uncooked chicken in the Southwest Chicken Marinade
  • cooked bacon pieces
  • shredded cheese
  • tortillas (Here are tips for freezing tortillas.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken breasts in a casserole dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, until done.
  • Place chicken and marinade in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Really! That's all it takes to get it done, otherwise you'll overcook and dry it out.
  • Place chicken, marinade, and 1/3 cup chicken broth in a 6 quart Instant Pot. (Note: If using an 8 quart, double the marinade and broth amount.) Lock and seal the lid. Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes and use a quick release of the pressure when the cook time is up. (Note: It will take 10-15 minutes to come to pressure before the cook time starts.)
