Crispy Chicken Wraps
Crispy Chicken Wraps are a delightful combination of tender chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy dressing wrapped in warm tortillas, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 pieces chicken breasts Can be substituted with turkey breast or plant-based protein.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
For the Wrap
- 4 pieces tortillas Use whole grain, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas if desired.
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped Use heartier types of lettuce like romaine.
- 1 piece tomato, diced
- 1 piece cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cheese (optional) Shredded cheese melts beautifully.
- Mayonnaise or dressing of choice Can substitute with yogurt, hummus, or vinaigrette.
Instructions
Cooking the Chicken
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle. Season with salt and pepper.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking.
Preparing the Tortillas
- Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
- If using a skillet, lightly toast them for added flavor and texture.
Assembling the Wraps
- Lay the warmed tortillas flat on a plate and spread a layer of mayonnaise or dressing over each tortilla.
- Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and place it in the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.
- Sprinkle cheese over the fillings if desired.
- Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the fillings, folding the sides over before rolling from the bottom up.
Serving
- Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
Notes
To ensure crispiness, store leftovers in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
