Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded, sliced, or diced)
- 1 ripe avocado (diced or sliced)
- ½ cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream, mayonnaise, or your favorite sauce
- 2 Tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Tablespoon lime or lemon juice
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, diced avocado, sour cream (or mayo or preferred sauce), chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated without mashing the avocado too much.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the chicken and avocado mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a pinwheel-style wrap. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Cook the Wraps: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down in the heated pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Carefully flip each wrap and cook the other side for another minute or until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken with turkey or beef for variation.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Cheese choice can be tailored to preference; pepper jack adds extra flavor.
- These wraps are best enjoyed immediately to maintain crispiness.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to adapt the recipe for dietary needs.
