Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

½ cup ranch dressing

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

½ cup green onions, sliced

4 large flour tortillas

½ cup crisp romaine lettuce, shredded

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Optional: hot sauce for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until the chicken is generously coated in the creamy ranch mixture.

    Add the Veggies: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped red bell pepper, and sliced green onions. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly distributed.

      Prepare the Tortillas: To make the tortillas easier to work with, lightly warm them in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side, or heat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable.

        Assemble the Roll-Ups: Place each warm tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread an even layer of the chicken and veggie mixture over each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges. On top of the filling, add a layer of shredded romaine lettuce for a crunchy texture.

          Roll and Cut: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Ensure it’s snug but not too tight to burst. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each tortilla into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches wide.

            Serve: Arrange the mini roll-ups attractively on a serving platter. For an extra zesty flavor, feel free to drizzle hot sauce over the top before serving. These can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature!
