What’s better than bacon? Ranch dressing of course! I could not wait to make these easy wraps for lunch. I grilled the chicken and cooked the bacon the night before so they were ready to go for lunch during the week. I can always find ranch dressing in my refrigerator so I am always looking for ways to use it up.
When I think of lettuce wraps I typically think of a low carb option so I can ditch the bread for a sandwich. It’s always a great idea to keep romaine lettuce or whole lettuce instead of the pre-chopped stuff. These wraps take just minutes to assemble and they are so good! Crunchy, meaty, savory and loaded with lots of flavor. It’s also a great way to get your greens! 😉
