Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a greased baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they are soft.
  4. Lay out each warmed tortilla and scoop a generous amount of the chicken filling into the center. Fold the tortillas over and place them seam-side down in your prepared baking dish.
  5. Lightly brush the tops of the folded tacos with olive oil or melted butter.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until edges are crispy and cheese is melted. Broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes for extra crunch.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, garnish with toppings, and serve warm.
