  • Author: Sophia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chipotle Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup guacamole (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chipotle Chicken

  1. Heat the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the cooked chicken and stir to coat.
  2. Season the Chicken: Add the chipotle sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken with the seasonings. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Assemble the Wraps

  1. Cut the Tortilla: Make a single cut from the center of each tortilla to the edge, creating a starting point for folding.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Imagine the tortilla divided into four quadrants. Add a different filling to each quadrant:
    • Quadrant 1: Chipotle chicken
    • Quadrant 2: Shredded cheese
    • Quadrant 3: Shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes
    • Quadrant 4: Sour cream and guacamole (if using)
  3. Fold the Tortilla: Start with the quadrant next to the cut and fold it over onto the next quadrant. Continue folding until you have a triangular, layered pocket.

3. Cook the Wraps

  1. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or olive oil.
  2. Toast the Wraps: Place the folded wraps seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Press gently with a spatula to help them stay folded and toast evenly.
  3. Repeat: Cook the remaining wraps, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

4. Serve

  1. Plate and Garnish: Serve the wraps hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
  2. Add Dipping Sauces: Pair with extra chipotle sauce, salsa, or ranch dressing for dipping.
  3. Enjoy: Serve with a side of tortilla chips, rice, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
