Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large tortillas 10-12 inches
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or your favorite sauce

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Dry skillet or microwave (for warming tortillas)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook until fully cooked and browned, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This makes them more pliable and prevents tearing.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing (or your sauce of choice) in the center of the tortilla.
  5. Layer the Ingredients: Add a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by a portion of the cooked chicken. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
  6. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.
  7. Serve Immediately: Serve the chicken wraps immediately. You can cut them in half for easier eating, if desired.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are as dry as possible to prevent soggy wraps. Pat lettuce dry, and let the chicken cool slightly after cooking. Experiment with different spice blends for the chicken to find your favorite flavor profile. Use a thicker sauce, or spread a thin layer to prevent sogginess. Homemade is often best. Wraps are best consumed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Consider variations like using different cheeses, adding avocado, or using a different type of dressing.
