1. 1. To make the dressing. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender with 1/3 cup water. Blend until creamy, adding more water as needed to thin. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
2. 2. To make the wraps. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, quinoa, fajita seasoning, cheese, black beans, peppers, corn, and cilantro. Toss with 1/2 of the dressing.
3. 3. Place one tortilla at a time in the microwave for 20 seconds. Spread on a layer of ranch then add the salad and chicken. Drizzle over more ranch and if you're feeling it, more fajita seasoning. Fold the tortilla over the ingredients. Fold sides and ends of tortillas over filling and roll forward. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. 4. Serve room temp or place in a skillet with olive oil to warm. Enjoy with extra dressing!
