Southwest Chicken Wraps
Southwest Chicken Wraps are made in under 15 minutes with juicy pan-seared chicken breasts and the perfect combination of delicious fillings.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into 4 cutlets
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning divided - if your seasoning does not have salt, season the chicken with salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil not extra virgin - or avocado oil
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup Frito corn chips
- 1 cup canned corn drained
- ½ cup fresh diced tomatoes
- 4 flour tortilla wraps
For the Sauce
- ½ cup (125 g) sour cream
- ¼ cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Season the chicken cutlets with 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning from both sides.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, heat oil and add the chicken. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet, and allow to rest on a cutting board.
- To make the sauce, in a bowl, combine sour cream with salsa and taco seasoning. Season with salt if desired.
- Slice the chicken into strips or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
- To assemble the wraps, spread sauce over the flour tortillas. Then add chicken, lettuce, shredded cheese, tomato, corn, Fritos, and extra sauce.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings. You want to tuck these in so nothing falls out. Then, fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the fillings and the folded-in sides. Keep rolling the wrap away from you, making sure to tuck in the sides as you go. Finish by pressing down a bit on the seam, where the tortilla edges meet, so it stays closed. Slice in half, and serve with extra sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- Like it Spicy? Sprinkle the chicken with hot sauce before wrapping up the tortilla wraps. You can also add hot sauce to the sauce if you prefer.
- Add Salt if Needed: Most taco seasonings have plenty of salt in them already, but if yours is homemade or salt-free, season the chicken with salt to taste.
- Try Grilled Chicken: If the weather is cooperating, cook the chicken on your outdoor grill to give it that extra charred flavor.
- Try Different Wraps: These will work perfectly with gluten-free tortillas. You can also skip the tortillas and wrap the fillings with large lettuce leaves to make the recipe lower in carbs.
