Description
Crispy Chicken Avocado Wraps combine tender, seasoned chicken with creamy avocado, melted cheese, and fresh cilantro, all wrapped in warm tortillas and crisped to perfection on the stovetop. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a satisfying lunch or light dinner.
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded, sliced, or diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced or sliced
- ½ cup cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream, mayo, or your favorite sauce
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, diced avocado, sour cream (or mayo or sauce of choice), chopped cilantro, and lime or lemon juice. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Distribute the filling mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly to form a wrap or burrito shape, ensuring the filling is enclosed securely.
- Heat the Pan and Cook: Pour about 1 teaspoon of oil into a heated pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Place all four wrapped tortillas seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom side is golden and crisp. Flip each wrap carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute or until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Remove the wraps from the pan and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken leftover from a previous meal or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For extra crispiness, press the wraps gently while cooking with a spatula or grill press.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced tomatoes or bell peppers for added texture.
- Wraps can be made ahead and briefly reheated in the pan before serving.
