Protein-packed lettuce wraps with chicken, beef, bacon, and crisp vegetables drizzled with creamy ranch.

# What You Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast (about 8 oz), diced
02 - 7 oz 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

10 - 1/2 tsp salt
11 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ Ranch Dressing

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

# How to Make It:

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

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Triple protein means you stay satisfied for hours without the heavy feeling
  • The crispy bacon against cool crisp lettuce creates the most satisfying texture contrast
  • Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is nearly nonexistent
02 -
  • Dry your lettuce leaves thoroughly with paper towels or the dressing slides right off
  • Cook the beef and chicken separately so each protein keeps its distinct flavor profile
  • Let the meats rest for a couple minutes before serving so they reabsorb their juices
03 -
  • Warm your lettuce leaves slightly by rinsing them in lukewarm water which makes them more pliable and less likely to crack
  • Set up the ingredients in separate bowls family style so everyone can customize their perfect wrap
