1

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate.
2

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
3

Whisk the smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, and garlic salt together in a shallow bowl. Coat the chicken with the seasoning, then cook on the prepared grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4

Place the tortillas on the hot grill and heat until lightly charred, 20 to 30 seconds per side.
5

Slice the chicken and place it in the warm tortillas. Top with the shredded lettuce, red onions, shredded cheese, and chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with ranch dressing, crumble the bacon over the top, and serve immediately.
