Calories: 628kcal
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cooked and sliced
- 6 large burrito-sized tortillas
- 3 cups lettuce chopped
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups yellow sharp cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
Cook the Chicken
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Place the chicken in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5–7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165–170°F.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest before slicing into thin strips.
Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the cooked chicken.
- Chop the lettuce, dice the tomato and avocado, and grate the cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a large tortilla flat on a plate.
Layer the tortilla with:
- About ½ cup of chopped lettuce
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- A few pieces of diced avocado
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- A few slices of grilled chicken
- ¼ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- Wrap the tortilla tightly, folding the edges in like an envelope to secure the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Grill the Wraps
- Preheat a clean, dry pan over medium-high heat (no oil needed).
- Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan. Grill for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip the wraps and grill the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the wraps immediately for the best taste, with warm, melted cheese.
Notes
Grilling Adds Flavor: Toasting the wraps in a pan adds a golden, crispy texture and enhances the overall flavor.
Make-Ahead Tip: Wrap individually in foil or resealable bags for meal prep or on-the-go lunches.
Customizations: Add your favorite extras like bell peppers, red onions, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Avoid storing overnight, as the lettuce may wilt and avocado may brown.
