Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups Cooked chicken – Shredded or chopped, breast or thighs
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil – For reheating chicken
- 2 tablespoon Taco seasoning – Store-bought or homemade
Wrap Components
- 4 large Flour tortillas – Warmed for folding
- 4 small Corn tortillas – For crunch layer
Fillings and Toppings
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce – Cold & crunchy
- 1 cup Shredded cheese – Mexican blend or cheddar
- ½ cup Sour cream – Or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup Salsa – Or pico de gallo
- 2 tablespoon Hot sauce – Optional
- 2 tablespoon Ranch or chipotle mayo – Optional
- Optional add-ins – Tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeños, guacamole
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and taco seasoning, stirring well to coat and warm through. Shred or chop the chicken further if needed. Keep warm.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the large flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable. Arrange all fillings—including lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and optional toppings—in separate bowls for easy assembly.
- Assemble Wraps: Place one small corn tortilla in the center of each warmed flour tortilla. Layer on the seasoned chicken, then spread sour cream and salsa evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese and lettuce on top, adding any optional extras you like. Keep the fillings centrally located for easier folding.
- Fold Wraps: Fold the edges of the flour tortilla inward in a circular motion, creating a sealed pocket around the fillings.
- Cook Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Flip carefully and cook the other side until equally crispy and golden.
- Serve: Remove wraps from skillet, cut in half, and serve hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Nutrition information is an estimate and may vary with different ingredients and portion sizes.
- Feel free to customize the wraps with your favorite add-ins such as tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeños, or guacamole for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream lowers fat content and adds protein.
- For a spicier version, increase the amount of hot sauce or add jalapeños.
- The wraps are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet to maintain their crunchiness.
