Ingredients

For the Wraps:

  • 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

For Cooking the Chicken:

  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken
  • Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet, cover, and cook for 5–7 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165–170°F.
  • Remove from the pan and let 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 tortilla flat on a plate.

Layer with:

  • ½ cup chopped lettuce
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • A few pieces of diced avocado
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • A few slices of cooked chicken
  • ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Wrap tightly, folding the edges in like an envelope to secure the filling. Repeat for remaining wraps.
  • Grill the Wraps
  • Preheat a dry pan over medium-high heat.
  • Place the wraps seam-side down in the pan and grill for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Flip and grill the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
  • Serve and Enjoy
  • Serve immediately for the best taste with warm, melted cheese.
  • Notes
  • Grilled Wraps: Grilling adds a crispy texture and enhances flavor.
  • Serving Suggestion: Wrap individually in foil or a resealable bag for a convenient lunch.
  • Filling Tips: Avoid overfilling to ensure easy wrapping.
  • Chicken Options: Use grilled, pan-seared, shredded, or rotisserie chicken.
  • Ingredient Variations: Customize with peppers, onions, or bacon.
  • Sour Cream Tip: Spreading sour cream inside helps blend flavors; you can also serve it on the side.
  • Tortilla Alternatives: Use smaller tortillas and enjoy them taco-style.
  • Storage Tips
  • Refrigeration: Store wraps in the fridge for a few hours. The cheese won’t stay melted, but they’ll still taste great. Avoid refrigerating overnight to prevent sogginess.
  • Freezing: Not recommended.
