Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp chipotle seasoning blend (chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Wrap Components

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh lettuce (romaine or iceberg), chopped
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the thinly sliced chicken breast evenly with the chipotle seasoning blend to ensure maximum flavor on each piece.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken slices for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Prep the Veggies: While the chicken cooks, wash and chop fresh lettuce, dice ripe tomatoes, and slice the avocado to keep all fillings fresh and ready.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable to prevent cracking when wrapping.
  5. Assemble the Wrap: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add the cooked chipotle chicken, then layer with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado slices, shredded cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  6. Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the fillings and roll tightly from one end to the other to create a neat wrap, ready to enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken in chipotle seasoning and lime juice for 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
  • Don’t overfill the wraps to make rolling easier and less messy.
  • Always use warm tortillas to prevent tearing or cracking.
  • Prepare extra seasoned chicken ahead of time for quick meal prep.
  • Add fresh lime juice last to brighten flavors without overpowering.
  • For extra texture, grill the wrapped wrap for a couple of minutes until crispy outside.
