Ulloa scored twice as Claudio Ranieri’s men moved eight points clear of Tottenham Hotspur.
Riyad Mahrez and Marc Albrighton also found the net, to put Leicester within touching distance of a title success the like of which world football has rarely seen.
Vardy is likely to miss next Sunday’s trip to Manchester United, having accepted a Football Association misconduct charge over his angry reaction to his dismissal against West Ham, but the one-sided victory over Swansea proved that Leicester do not need their talisman to succeed.
