Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap Components
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced (added to match instructions)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Rub this flavorful mixture evenly onto the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of sour cream over each tortilla. Arrange sliced avocado evenly along the center, then layer on the sliced chicken and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling to enclose it, then roll from the bottom up tightly to form a wrapped burrito-style wrap.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and presentation. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm for a delicious and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control the level of spice to your liking.
- Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- Chicken can be grilled instead of pan-cooked for a smoky flavor.
- For extra creaminess, add a slice of cheese or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap.
- Leftovers can be stored wrapped in foil and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
