How to Make High-Protein Chicken Crunchwrap

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by shredding the cooked chicken. Mix it with taco seasoning, shredded cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped lettuce in a large bowl. Why this matters: It ensures all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Gather Your Tortillas: On a clean surface, lay out the large flour tortillas. Make sure they’re soft and pliable for easy folding.
Add the Filling: Take a generous scoop of the chicken mixture and place it in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle some crushed tortilla chips on top for that satisfying crunch!
Wrap It Up: Fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling toward the center, then flip it over so the seams are down. Why this step is key: It keeps all the deliciousness tucked inside.
Cook the Crunchwrap: Heat olive oil (or use cooking spray) in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer the wrapped tortilla seam side down into the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy: Once crispy, take them off the heat and let them cool slightly before cutting in half.

How to Serve High-Protein Chicken Crunchwrap

With a Side of Salsa: Serve with your favorite salsa or guacamole for dipping.

On a Bed of Greens: Present on a plate with greens for a fresh touch.

How to Store High-Protein Chicken Crunchwrap

Store leftover crunchwraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them individually in foil and place them in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until heated through. You can also pop them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, but keep in mind they won’t be as crispy.
