Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½-2 pounds chicken breast, cut into thinly sliced strips you can also use boneless skinless chicken thighs if you want. Just make sure and trim the fat off.
- 2 tablespoons canola oil plus more for frying the crunchwraps
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups sliced bell peppers, cut into strips
- 6 flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cup grated cheese
- Toppings of choice- avocados, jalapenos, lettuce, etc.
Instructions
- Heat canola in a skillet over medium heat. Once it is heated, add the chicken strips. Sprinkle all the spices over the chicken. Stir occasionally until the chicken is almost cooked. Once it is almost cooked, add in the bell peppers.
- Cook another few minutes, only until the bell peppers are tender.
- Remove it from heat. I like to let this cool just slightly before forming the crunch wraps.
- Take a tortilla and add 2-4 tablespoons of cheese to the center. Add about ½ cup of the chicken mixture on top of the cheese.
- Start folding the edges of the tortillas over the chicken mixture, pleating as you go.
- Preheat a pan over medium heat. I used a nonstick pan. Keep making your wraps while it is heating.
- Once you have 3-4 ready and the pan is heated, add them in. Cook until they are golden brown on each side.
- Top as you like and serve.
Notes
- The chicken mixture can be made up to a week ahead of time. Make sure to store it in an airtight container.
- Making the chicken ahead isn't the only option, you can also make the crunch wraps ahead of time. Just know they won't be as crunchy when you reheat them. They do make a really yummy meal prep.
- You can also use a crunchy tostada to make these if you want. You place them over the chicken mixture and fold around it.
- Another way to get a crispy tortilla is to brush butter on your tortillas before you cook them in the skillet. Or you can also heat butter in a skillet and add the crunch wraps on top of it.
