Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Rub each chicken breast with olive oil and sprinkle taco seasoning evenly on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, and then shred it using two forks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with lime juice and stir to coat evenly.
Lay out the large flour tortillas on a clean surface. Start assembling the wraps by adding a layer of shredded chicken down the center of each tortilla (about 1/2 cup per wrap).
Top the chicken with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Wrap each prepared taco wrap in a piece of foil for easy storage and reheating.
Optional: Label the foil wraps with the date and contents if you're preparing them for the freezer.
To freeze: Place the wrapped taco wraps in a large freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Remove a wrap from the freezer, thaw in the refrigerator overnight if possible, and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes (while still in foil), or until heated through.
