Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Chicken Ranch Wraps can be simple, but there are a few common pitfalls. Here are mistakes to watch out for:

• Neglecting seasoning: Not seasoning the chicken can lead to bland wraps. Always add spices or marinade to enhance flavor.
• Overfilling the wraps: Stuffing too many ingredients can make it difficult to roll. Stick to the recommended amounts for easy wrapping.
• Skipping the crisping step: If you skip heating, the tortillas will remain soft and chewy. Crisping them adds texture and enhances the overall taste.

• Using stale tortillas: Old tortillas can tear easily and affect the wrap’s integrity. Always use fresh tortillas for best results.
