Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 large chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
- 2 tbsp ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced dill pickles
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: jalapeño slices or hot sauce
Instructions
- Thinly slice the chicken breast across the grain. Place in a bowl and pour over the dill pickle juice with a pinch of salt; marinate 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Let it shimmer.
- Add chicken slices in a single layer. Press each piece firmly with a spatula to smash and flatten.
- Cook 3–4 minutes without moving until deeply golden, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until cooked through and crisp at the edges.
- Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
- Spread 1 tablespoon ranch down the center of each tortilla. Layer shredded lettuce, diced pickles (and tomatoes/cheese if using).
- Top with hot smashed chicken, drizzle a little extra ranch or spicy ranch if desired.
- Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the skillet; press gently and crisp 1–2 minutes per side until golden and sealed.
- Slice on the bias and serve warm with extra ranch or pickles on the side.
Notes
- Use thin chicken slices for maximum crisp surface from the smash technique.
- Warm tortillas first to prevent tearing when rolling.
- Pat diced tomatoes dry to avoid soggy wraps.
- To re-crisp leftovers: toast in a skillet or air fryer rather than microwave.
- Substitute chicken thighs for juicier results; cook slightly longer to ensure doneness.
