Method
 

  1. Mix the softened cream cheese and dry ranch seasoning in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add the chopped chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly over the 4 tortillas, ensuring you spread all the way to the edges.
  4. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape.
  5. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Notes

  • Use a sharp serrated knife and a sawing motion to slice cleanly without squishing the roll.
  • Discard the uneven end pieces for a cleaner presentation on your platter.
