Ingredients

• Large wheat flour tortilla: adds heartiness and a mild nutty flavor look for tortillas that are pliable and free of cracks for best wrapping results
• Ranch dressing: brings creaminess and tang choose a high quality dressing or make your own for extra freshness
• Oven roasted turkey breast deli style: is lean and flavorful opt for freshly sliced turkey without added fillers
• Cheddar cheese: provides sharpness and richness try to use real aged cheddar for the best taste
• Cooked bacon: brings smoky crunch and savory depth pick thick cut bacon and cook it until just crisp for extra texture
• Fresh tomato: delivers juiciness pick vine ripened tomatoes that are firm yet tender
• Chopped romaine lettuce: adds cool crisp bite always go for bright green leaves with no browning edges

Instructions

Prepare the Tortilla:

Ensure the flour tortilla is flexible and unbroken This will make rolling much easier and prevent splits while wrapping

Spread the Ranch:

Use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread the ranch dressing across the center of the tortilla Aim for an even layer that reaches close to the edges but not all the way to prevent overflow when rolling

Layer the Fillings:

Arrange the turkey slices creating a uniform base Overlap the cheddar cheese and lay on the crispy bacon Add the fresh tomato slices and finish with the chopped romaine lettuce Keep everything centered to avoid overstuffing the ends

Fold and Roll:

Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the fillings firmly Tuck in both sides to contain the ingredients and continue rolling tightly burrito style The goal is a snug wrap to keep every bite secure

Slice and Serve:

Trim a little off each end if you want a neat finish Then slice the wrap in half with a sharp knife Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor

Storage Tips

Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or parchment Store in the fridge for up to two days for maximum freshness If making ahead layer lettuce and tomato between the meat and cheese to keep the tortilla from becoming soggy
