How to Make Chicken Tortilla Wraps

1. Prepare the vegetables.
Wash and dry the vegetables well. Slice the iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper into thin strips, ready for filling the tortillas.

2. Season the chicken.
Place the chicken strips in a bowl. Add the mustard, salt, black pepper, seasoning mix, and garlic powder. Mix until every piece is evenly coated.

3. Cook the chicken.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook on one side, then turn and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. Make the creamy dill sauce.
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and dill until smooth and evenly combined.

5. Fill and fold the tortillas.
Lay a tortilla on a clean work surface and spread some sauce over the center. Add the vegetables and cooked chicken, leaving space around the edges. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

6. Toast and serve.
Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Place the chicken tortilla wraps seam-side down in the skillet and toast until golden. Carefully turn and toast the other side, pressing gently with a spatula. Slice in half and serve immediately for the best combination of crisp tortilla, tender chicken, and crunchy vegetables.

How to Store and Freeze

Refrigerate: For the best texture, store the cooked chicken, sauce, and vegetables in separate airtight containers. Refrigerate promptly, within 2 hours of preparation, and use within 3–4 days. Assembled chicken tortilla wraps are best eaten within 24 hours, as the vegetables and sauce can soften the tortillas.

Freeze: Freeze the cooked chicken separately for up to 3 months for the best quality. The fresh lettuce, cucumber, and creamy sauce do not freeze well, so add these when assembling your wraps after thawing the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.

Reheat: Reheat the chicken until it reaches 165°F (74°C), then fill the tortillas with the sauce and fresh vegetables. Fold and toast in a skillet until golden.

For the Creamy Dill Sauce

• ¼ cup (60 g) mayonnaise
• 1 tsp dried dill

Equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Sharp knife
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tongs or spatula

Method

 

1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash and thoroughly dry the vegetables. Slice the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper into thin strips. Drain excess tomato juices to help prevent soggy wraps.
2. Season the chicken. Place the chicken strips in a bowl. Add the mustard, salt, black pepper, seasoning mix, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly coated.
3. Cook the chicken. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the chicken strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook on one side, then turn and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Check that the thickest pieces reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4. Mix the sauce. Stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and dried dill in a small bowl until smooth.
5. Assemble the wraps. Lay one tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread a portion of the sauce over the center, leaving the edges clear. Add a portion of the vegetables and chicken, taking care not to overfill.
6. Fold the tortillas. Fold both sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Toast the wraps. Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and toast until golden. Carefully turn and toast the other side, pressing gently with a spatula.
8. Serve. Slice the chicken tortilla wraps in half and serve immediately.

Notes

• Seasoning: If your seasoning mix contains salt, add extra salt sparingly.
• Filling: The amount of lettuce needed depends on the size of the head and tortillas. Save any extra vegetables for a side salad.
• Timing: Cooking time varies with chicken thickness and the number of batches.
• Make ahead: Refrigerate the cooked chicken, sauce, and vegetables separately. Assemble and toast just before serving.
• Storage: Refrigerate promptly within 2 hours. Use cooked chicken within 3-4 days; assembled wraps are best eaten within 24 hours for texture.
• Freezing: Freeze the cooked chicken separately for up to 3 months for best quality. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat to 165°F (74°C). Add fresh vegetables and sauce when assembling.
• Nutrition: Estimates assume all the sauce and cooking oil are used. Actual values vary with tortilla size, the amount of vegetables used, and oil left in the pan.
