chicken wraps
These easy chicken wraps are fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Juicy seasoned chicken, crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, and melty cheese all wrapped in a warm tortilla — simple, satisfying, and delicious every time.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 4 large tortillas whole wheat, flour, or gluten-free
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup lettuce shredded
- 1 medium tomato diced
- 1/2 red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or your favorite variety
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Prep the Veggies:
- While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.
- Shred the lettuce for that fresh, crunchy bite.
Warm the Tortillas:
- Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This step makes them more pliable, ensuring they don’t tear when wrapping.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay the warmed tortillas flat and spread a thin layer of sour cream (or Greek yogurt) in the center of each one.
- Add a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, and red onion.
- Top with a generous portion of sliced chicken and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Wrap and Serve:
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to seal everything inside.
- Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap it up for a meal on the go!
