Baking Tips
Slightly undercook the chicken then let it rest to prevent dryness - it will continue cooking with residual heat
Toast the assembled wrap briefly in a dry skillet to add extra crunch and help seal it shut
Place ingredients in the center of the tortilla, not too close to the edges, to make rolling easier
Double wrap in parchment paper then foil if taking wraps to-go to maintain freshness and structure
For meal prep, keep wet ingredients (sauce, tomatoes, sour cream) separate until ready to assemble
Use large, fresh tortillas at room temperature to prevent tearing when rolling
Layer ingredients strategically - place lettuce first to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy
Add the crushed chips last moment before rolling to maintain maximum crunch
For extra-large wraps, use burrito-size (12-inch) tortillas instead of standard size
When slicing chicken, cut against the grain for the most tender texture

Instructions

01
Prepare the chicken: Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Season with taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
02
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
03
Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips across the grain.
04
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce, lime juice, honey, and smoked paprika until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
05
Warm tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
06
Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of the sauce across the center, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
07
Layer ingredients in the center of each tortilla in this order: lettuce, chicken strips, tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, cheese, and cilantro.
08
Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle generously with crushed tortilla chips for the essential crunch. Add jalapeños if using.
09
To fold: Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go, creating a tight cylinder.
10
Optional: Secure with toothpicks or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper. For extra crunch, toast the finished wrap briefly in a dry skillet, seam side down first.
