How to Make Chicken Wraps (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken
- Season the chicken cutlets with smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic granules, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a pan, or a grill pan, or preheat your outdoor grill.
- Place the seasoned chicken cutlets on the grill or pan, and cook on both sides until the chicken is cooked through.
- The internal temperature of the center of the chicken must be at least 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill, and allow it to rest on a plate for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a pan or microwave to make them flexible.
- Slice all your vegetables and prepare the sauce.
- Cut the chicken up
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat and layer lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, onions, avocado, and cheese in the center.
- Drizzle your favorite sauce generously.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4: Roll the Wrap
- Fold in the sides and tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom up.
- Optional: Toast the wrap in a skillet with a little butter or oil until golden and crisp.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- Cut in half for easy eating or into smaller portions for sharing.
- Pre-seasoned cast iron, reversible grill/griddle with user friendly handles; oven safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cast iron for even heat distribution and retention; pre-seasoned products don’t have non-stick function; hand wash only
- Always use hot-pads, oven mitts, or potholders while moving or removing cast iron cookware on or from the stove or oven.
Storing, Packing Lunch, and Making Ahead Tips
- To Store: Wrap in foil or an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Packing Lunch: Keep sauce separate to avoid soggy wraps; add before eating.
- Make Ahead: Assemble wraps without wet ingredients (like tomatoes or sauce), wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate overnight. Toast or add sauce just before serving.
