Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped, breast or thighs)

Seasoning & Oils

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for reheating chicken)
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Tortillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas (warmed for folding)
  • 4 small corn tortillas (for crunch layer)

Fillings & Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (cold & crunchy)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
  • ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • ½ cup salsa (or pico de gallo)
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 tbsp ranch or chipotle mayo (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeños, guacamole

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cooked chicken and taco seasoning, warming through evenly. Shred or chop the chicken finely once heated, then keep warm.
  2. Prep Station: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable. Arrange shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and any optional toppings or sauces in bowls, ready for assembly.
  3. Add Fillings: Place one small corn tortilla in the center of each warm flour tortilla to create a crunchy base. Add a generous amount of the seasoned chicken on top, then spread sour cream and salsa evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheese, then top with shredded lettuce and any additional chosen toppings, keeping all ingredients in the center for easier folding.
  4. Fold Tortilla: Fold the edges of the flour tortilla inward over the filling, overlapping to seal everything securely inside, forming a round wrap.
  5. Grill & Serve: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrapped tortilla seam-side down to seal. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the wrap is golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat, cut in half diagonally, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Warming the flour tortillas prevents cracking during folding.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier option.
  • Customize the crunch wrap with your favorite toppings like guacamole, jalapeños, or beans.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly based on skillet heat and tortilla thickness.
  • Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for a quicker meal prep.
