Tortilla Pockets | Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cream Cheese

Good Morning!  With football season in full swing now, I'm always looking for something yummy to make while we cheer on our favorite teams.  My husband loves to barbeque so we usually have something from the grill to feast on.  The forecast was calling for rain this past weekend, so I thought it would be a perfect weekend to give this recipe a try.

We had grilled chicken breast for dinner one night earlier that week, so I threw on a few more so those were already done.  And same for the bacon.  We had extra from our Saturday morning breakfast, so I crumbled several slices and put the bacon pieces in the refrigerator for that evening.  With those two things out of the way, I was able to quickly put these together in between games.
