Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup store-bought salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken breasts in the pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken into small pieces using two forks.
In the same skillet, add the salsa and shredded chicken. Stir to combine, then cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds until pliable.
To assemble the wraps, layer each tortilla with a lettuce leaf, a generous portion of the salsa chicken mixture, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap.
Serve immediately, or secure with toothpicks for easier handling. Enjoy your Salsa Chicken Wraps!
