Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts – diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Wrap Components:

  • 810 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter recommended)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing or your favorite sauce for added flavor

Vegetable Additions:

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for added freshness)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (your choice of colors)
  • 1 cup avocado slices (optional, for creaminess)

Optional Seasonings and Enhancements:

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (for a spicier wrap)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (for an earthy flavor)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 12 jalapeños, thinly sliced (for heat, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by gathering all your ingredients. You will need cooked chicken breast, cheese of your choice, tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, and your favorite sauce.

Step 2: Shred the Chicken

Take the cooked chicken breast and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. This will help distribute the chicken evenly throughout the wrap.

Step 3: Choose Your Cheese

Select the cheese you want to use. Cheddar or mozzarella works well. Grate or slice the cheese to ensure it melts beautifully in the wrap.

Step 4: Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet over low heat for about 10-15 seconds on each side. This makes them pliable and easier to fold.

Step 5: Add Chicken to the Tortilla

Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface and place a generous amount of shredded chicken in the center. Spread it evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.

Step 6: Sprinkle the Cheese

Distribute the grated cheese over the chicken in the tortilla. Use as much or as little as you prefer, but a good amount will create that cheesy goodness!

Step 7: Add Fresh Vegetables

Layer fresh lettuce and diced tomatoes on top of the cheese. These ingredients add crunch and enhance the flavor of the wrap.

Step 8: Drizzle the Sauce

Choose a sauce such as ranch, BBQ, or salsa and drizzle it over the vegetables. This will add moisture and zest to your wrap.

Step 9: Fold and Wrap It Up

Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it from the bottom up to enclose all the ingredients. Make sure the filling is secure.

Step 10: Toast the Wrap (Optional)

For extra crispiness, heat a skillet and place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.
