Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
1 pound chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon chili powder
6 flour tortilla wraps (8 inches)
½ cup salsa
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 avocados

Instructions

Step 1: Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Season the top of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. When the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet—it should sizzle on contact. Sauté until each side is browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
Step 2: Remove the chicken from heat and let it cool slightly. Then slice each breast into thin strips.
Step 3: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a cutting board or baking sheet. Spread salsa down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Slice the avocados and layer the slices over the salsa and cheese. Top with the sliced chicken strips.
Step 4: Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a wrap.
Step 5: If there’s no oil left in the skillet, add a little more or lightly spray the outside of the wraps with cooking spray. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Press them gently and cook over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, flipping once, until the wraps are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve immediately, optionally with extra salsa or sour cream.

Tips & Variations

Use avocado oil for cooking to complement the avocado flavor in the wraps.
For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
Swap the mozzarella for pepper jack cheese for a smoky, spicy twist.
Try adding fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice inside the wraps for extra brightness.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in a microwave, but note that the tortilla may lose some crispness. To maintain texture, consider reheating wrapped in foil on a grill or toaster oven.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used. They will be juicier but may require slightly longer cooking time. Adjust seasoning as desired.

What can I substitute for flour tortillas?

Whole wheat or corn tortillas can work, though corn tortillas are more delicate and may tear when wrapping. Warm them gently before assembling to make folding easier.
