Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
Instructions
- :
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooled enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Assemble the wraps: Warm the tortillas in the skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften. Place some shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla, then top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
- Fold and serve: Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa, if desired. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly to create a wrap. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- :
- You can customize these wraps with other toppings like avocado, onions, or bell peppers.
- For a lighter option, swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat or a low-carb version.
- The wraps can be grilled in a skillet after rolling for a crispy exterior.
