This Chicken and Bacon Wrap with Southwest Ranch Dressing is so easy to make! Using the Instant Pot speeds this recipe up so everything is done in under 20 minutes!
Chicken and Bacon Wrap with Southwest Ranch Dressing
Sometimes I just really want a wrap but don’t want to pay at the drive thru for it! So I decided to DIY my own with just a few ingredients. Also, just for fun, I decided to make my own version of Southwest Ranch Dressing to go with the wrap.
With the Instant Pot, the chicken comes out perfectly and shreds easily. I love how in the time it takes for the bacon to bake, everything is cooked and ready to go. I start with the chicken breasts in the IP, pre-heat the oven for the bacon, and while everything is cooking on their own, I mix together the ingredients for the sauce. Then it’s just assembly.
I eat these a few ways. If I’m eating the wrap right away, I’ll drizzle my sauce in, wrap it up, and enjoy. If I’m eating it later, I hold off on the sauce. Sometimes, I’ll even turn it into a burrito with a larger tortilla (again, sauce on the side) and load up on the ingredients.

Tips and Notes
To meal prep, I hold off the sauce to use as a dip and wrap the chicken wrap up in cling wrap or parchment paper to help it keep it together in the fridge. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
On a larger tortilla, make this into a burrito by adding more ingredients such as avocado, beans, onions, etc.
The shredded chicken can also be made in a slow cooker by cooking the chicken in the liquid on high for 3 hours.
