What to Buy and Prep

• 1 12 inch flour tortilla
• 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
• 6 Nacho Cheese Doritos chips
• ½ cup shredded rotisserie chicken
• 1 teaspoon dry ranch seasoning
• 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar
• ¼ cup chopped romaine
• ¼ cup diced tomatoes

Build, Fold, and Air-Fry

1. Shred rotisserie chicken while still warm.
2. Cook bacon until crispy, then crumble.
3. Microwave a 12-inch flour tortilla for about 15 seconds (or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 10–15 seconds) to soften and make pliable.
4. Lay the softened tortilla flat and spread 2 tablespoons ranch dressing evenly over the center.
5. Scatter Nacho Cheese Doritos chips in a single layer over the ranch.
6. Toss ½ cup shredded chicken with 1 teaspoon dry ranch seasoning.
7. Spread the seasoned shredded chicken over the chips.
8. Top with crumbled bacon, ¼ cup shredded cheddar, ¼ cup chopped romaine, and ¼ cup diced tomatoes.

9. Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla inward around the filling until the crunchwrap is fully enclosed.

   

10. Lightly spritz the outside of the wrapped crunchwrap with oil spray.
11. Place the crunchwrap seam-side down in the air fryer basket and spritz the top with a little oil spray.
12. Air fry at 380°F for about 3–4 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown and crispy.

Prep Shortcuts and Hacks

Want to keep this super simple? Look for pre-cooked ingredients like microwaveable bacon, pre-shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, and even bags of diced tomatoes at the store. It cuts down your prep time big.

Try microwaving your tortilla wrapped in a damp paper towel for 10–15 seconds before assembling. This softens it up perfectly and makes folding so much easier without cracking.

Easy Swaps and Upgrades

• Spicy Upgrade: Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese, add sliced jalapeños, drizzle some hot sauce, or switch to Cool Ranch Doritos for a little extra zing.
• Mexican Style: Replace ranch with sour cream and salsa, season the chicken with cumin and chili powder, and swap Doritos for crushed plain tortilla chips or a tostada shell.
• Vegetarian Version: Skip the chicken and bacon, and add seasoned black beans or refried beans instead. Toss in avocado slices or bell peppers, and keep the Doritos for that crunch.
• Breakfast Crunchwrap: Fill with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage or bacon, and melt in some Colby Jack or cheddar cheese for a morning treat.
• Other Swap-Ins: Try pulled pork, ground beef, or diced steak (the Air Fryer Steak Bites and Peppers recipe works perfectly) to change up the protein. Swap ranch dressing for chipotle mayo or cilantro-lime crema, and explore chip flavors for new flavor combos.

Keep, Reheat, and Freeze

Store your leftover chicken bacon ranch crunchwraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To keep the chips crispy, store the chips separately and add them fresh before reheating.

For reheating from the fridge, place the crunchwrap seam-side down in your air fryer and heat at 370–380°F for 3 to 5 minutes, until warm and crispy again. If you’re using an oven, bake at 350°F on a baking sheet for about 8–10 minutes.

To freeze, wrap cooled, fully assembled crunchwraps tightly in foil, then place in a freezer bag for up to a month. When ready, reheat from frozen in the air fryer at 360–370°F for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake in the oven at 350°F for 20–25 minutes. Add fresh chips right before serving to bring back the crunch.

Make-ahead tip: prep shredded chicken and cooked bacon ahead and store separately. Then assemble the crunchwraps just before air frying for the best texture. You can also assemble them and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.

What is a Crunchwrap?

A Crunchwrap is a popular creation from Taco Bell that layers meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato inside a flour tortilla. It usually has a crispy tostada in the middle for crunch. Our chicken bacon ranch crunchwrap flips that idea by using juicy chicken, crispy bacon, melty cheese, and crunchy Nacho Cheese Doritos instead.
