Grilled Chicken Wraps

A wrap is basically a modern portable sandwich, but grilling it elevates it to restaurant quality. The heat makes the tortilla crispy while melting the cheese inside to glue the filling together, creating a stable, warm, and tasty cylinder dominated by texture.

Instructions

1

Cut chicken and veggies (onion, pepper) into thin strips. Shred the lettuce.

Tip: If you freeze chicken for 20 minutes before cutting, it's much easier to slice thinly.
2

Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion, then chicken after 1 minute. Sauté on high heat until meat whitens and browns.

Tip: High heat is important to sear rather than stew the meat.
3

Add pepper, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook another 3-4 minutes until peppers are crisp-tender.

Tip: Add spices now so they don't burn in hot oil at the start.
4

Warm tortillas in microwave or dry pan to soften.

Tip: Cold tortillas crack; warm ones roll.
5

Filling: Spread sour cream on tortilla, add lettuce, then hot chicken mixture. Top with cheese.

Tip: Put cheese on hot meat so it starts melting from the inside.
6

Fold in ends, roll tightly. Place seam-side down in grill pan.

Tip: Heat seals the seam so it doesn't open.
7

Cook 2-3 minutes per side until crispy with brown lines.

Tip: Use a weight (or another pan) to press down for even browning.

Recipe FAQ

Why does it open while cooking?
You overfilled it or didn't 'glue' the end with cheese. Always start grilling seam-side down.
Can I use whole wheat tortillas?
Yes, but they are more brittle, so warm them thoroughly before filling.
