Step-By-Step: How To Prepare The Chicken Bacon Avocado Ranch Lettuce Wraps?

There are three simple steps required to make the chicken bacon avocado ranch lettuce wraps.

Cook The Chicken

Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper the both sides of the chicken breast, and grill them for 6-7 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes, then dice it into bite-sized pieces. You can also use grilled rotisserie chicken on medium heat.

Cook The Bacon

While the chicken is cooking, cook the bacon in a separate pan until it is crispy. Remove it from the grill pan and let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces.

Prepare The Veggies

The first step in preparing the veggies for chicken bacon avocado ranch lettuce wrap is to peel and dice the avocado. To do this, start by cutting it in half lengthwise and removing the pit. With a spoon, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and dice it into small pieces. Next, finely chop the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Make The Dressing

In a small serving bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing and jerk seasoning until thoroughly incorporated. The zesty, yet creamy combination of the ranch dressing and Jerk seasoning helps to accentuate the flavors of the grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, red onion, and cherry tomatoes in the wrap. The richness of the dressing also helps to bring all of the ingredients together.

Assemble The Lettuce Wraps

Take a large romaine lettuce leaf and place a spoonful of the diced chicken on top. Add some bacon slices, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle some of the jerk ranch dressing on top.

Roll The Lettuce Wraps

Carefully fold the butter lettuce leaf around the filling, rolling it tightly like a burrito. Start by folding in one side of the lettuce leaf over the filling and then tucking in both ends before continuing to roll. Gently press down on the roll with your hands as you go so that all of the ingredients are snugly held in place. Repeat this process with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.

How To Serve The Chicken Bacon Avocado Ranch Lettuce Wraps?

These wraps are best served immediately, while the lettuce is still slightly crisp. To make them even more presentable, you can also do the following things:

Arrange The Lettuce Wraps On A Platter

Place the prepared chicken bacon avocado ranch lettuce wraps on a platter, making sure to leave a bit of space between each wrap. Add a few sprigs of herbs or microgreens for an extra pop of color and flavor. You can also arrange some thin slices of lemon or lime around the platter for a refreshing and vibrant presentation.

Garnish With Extra Toppings

For more flavor and texture, put some extra crumbled bacon, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and half-sliced cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce wraps. You can also garnish them with a few more drops of the jerk ranch dressing if desired.

Serve With A Side Dish

These lettuce wraps are delicious enough to be served on their own, but they also pair well with a variety of side dishes. For an easy and complete meal, you can serve them alongside some grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

List Of Some Side Dishes That Would Complement Your Meal
