Save to Pinterest Juicy chicken tossed with creamy ranch and crunchy pickles, wrapped in a tortilla with melted cheese — a tangy, satisfying twist on the classic melt, perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.
The first time I made these Ranch Pickle Chicken Melt Wraps, my family couldn't get enough of the bold flavors and gooey cheese. It's now a regular request when we want something delicious and fast.
Ingredients
- Chicken: 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- Ranch Mixture: 1/3 cup ranch dressing, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
- Pickles: 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely diced
- Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Wraps: 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Optional: 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced, 1 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Prep Chicken Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, mayonnaise, dill (if using), diced pickles, and red onion. Mix until evenly coated.
- Assemble Wraps:
- Lay out the tortillas. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture on each wrap.

Common Recipe Questions
- → Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?
Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly and saves time. Simply shred and combine with ranch, pickles, and cheese.
- → What cheese varieties suit this melt?
Cheddar is classic, but provolone or pepper jack add different flavors. Mix and match according to taste.
- → Is lettuce essential in the wrap?
Lettuce adds freshness and crunch but is optional. Include it for a lighter texture, or skip for a melty finish.
- → How do I achieve a golden, crispy exterior?
Cook wraps seam side down in a nonstick skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, gently pressing for best browning.
- → Are there ways to add extra crunch?
Sliced cucumbers or bell peppers deliver extra texture. Dice and distribute inside the wrap before rolling.
- → What sides pair well with these wraps?
Serve with chips, a simple salad, extra pickle spears, or dips like ranch or hot sauce for dipping.
