Key element — roll tight and bake seam-side down
Roll each tortilla as tight as you can and place it seam-side down on the pan. Loose rolls unroll in the oven and leak all that glorious filling.
Ingredients
Filling
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
- ½ cup ranch dressing (sugar-free)
Roll-ups
- 8 low-carb tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Swaps
- Chicken: Use rotisserie chicken for the fastest version.
- Cheese: Swap mozzarella for Monterey Jack or cheddar.
- Turkey bacon: Use turkey bacon for a lighter version.
- Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
Instructions
| 1 | Heat the oven. Heat to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment. |
| 2 | Mix the filling. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, 1½ cups of the mozzarella, and the ranch dressing. |
| 3 | Fill and roll. Warm the tortillas so they don’t crack. Spoon the filling down the center of each, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on the pan. |
| 4 | Top. Brush the roll-ups with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella. |
| 5 | Bake. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and bubbly. |
| 6 | Serve. Rest 3 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. |
Pro tips
- Warm the tortillas before rolling — cold tortillas crack.
- Don’t overfill — ⅓ cup of filling per tortilla rolls cleanly.
- Seam-side down is non-negotiable — it’s what keeps them closed.
- The butter brush is what gives you that golden, crisp top.
- Rest 3 minutes so the cheese sets slightly before serving.
