Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap Components
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper thoroughly. Rub this spice mixture evenly onto the chicken breasts ensuring full coverage.
- Cook chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from skillet and let rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
- Assemble wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of sour cream on each tortilla. Place sliced avocado in the center, then top with the sliced chicken and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Wrap: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to secure all the ingredients inside.
- Slice and serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve warm. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired for added freshness and color.
Notes
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Use fresh, ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.
- To make the wraps easier to roll, warm the tortillas slightly before assembling.
- These wraps can be paired with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
- Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
