Description
This Healthy Chicken Crunch Wrap is crispy on the outside, creamy and loaded on the inside—an easy, better-than-takeout weeknight dinner you can make fast with leftover chicken.
Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped; breast or thighs)
-
2 tbsp olive oil (for reheating chicken)
-
2 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
-
4 large flour tortillas (warmed for folding)
-
4 small corn tortillas (for the crunch layer)
-
1 cup shredded lettuce (cold & crunchy)
-
1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
-
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
-
1/2 cup salsa (or pico de gallo)
-
2 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
-
2 tbsp ranch or chipotle mayo (optional)
-
Optional add-ins: tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeños, guac
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cooked chicken and taco seasoning. Warm through, then shred or chop. Keep warm.
-
Warm flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds so they’re easy to fold. Set out lettuce, cheese, sauces, salsa, and any toppings.
-
Place one small corn tortilla in the center of each flour tortilla. Add chicken, then spread sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and salsa.
-
Sprinkle on cheese and lettuce, plus any optional add-ins. Keep everything piled in the center for easier folding.
-
Fold the flour tortilla edges up and over the filling in a circle until sealed.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place wrap seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2–3 minutes more until crispy.
-
Cut in half and serve hot (extra salsa for dipping is never a bad idea).
Notes
Don’t overfill—too much filling makes folding tricky and can pop open in the pan.
For a lighter swap, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
Add black beans or corn for extra fiber and a more filling wrap.
Best reheating: skillet or air fryer to keep the crunch. Microwave softens it.
Want it spicier? Add jalapeños, chipotle mayo, or extra hot sauce.
