Chicken Beef Bacon Lettuce Wraps (Printable Version)

Crispy lettuce cups filled with seasoned chicken, beef, bacon, and fresh veggies, drizzled with creamy ranch.

# What You Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 9 ounces), diced
02 - 7 ounces ground beef (85% lean)
03 - 6 slices bacon

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 head butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated and washed
05 - 1 medium tomato, diced
06 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

→ Seasonings

08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Ranch Dressing

12 - 1/3 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

# Directions:

01 - Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain, then crumble or chop into pieces.
02 - In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Sprinkle with half the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
03 - Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet. Season with the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook until golden and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat.
04 - Lay out the lettuce leaves on a large platter. Layer each leaf with a spoonful of beef, chicken, and bacon.
05 - Top with diced tomato, red onion, and cucumber slices.
06 - Drizzle each wrap with ranch dressing.
07 - Serve immediately, letting everyone assemble their own wraps if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of three meats creates incredible depth of flavor that keeps every bite interesting
  • Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknight dinners
  • The crunch of fresh lettuce against the savory, seasoned proteins is absolutely addictive
02 -
  • Cook the proteins in the same skillet to build layers of flavor, but transfer each meat to a separate bowl to prevent overcooking while you finish the others
  • The vegetables release water as they sit, so assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce leaves crisp and the textures perfect
03 -
  • Pat your lettuce leaves completely dry with paper towels after washing to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy
  • Let the meats rest for a couple of minutes after cooking so they retain their juices when you bite into the wraps
