Chipotle Chicken Wrap
A creamy, smoky, and easy chipotle chicken wrap made with shredded chicken, chipotle sauce, fresh vegetables, and soft tortillas. Perfect for quick lunches or dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- 1 tbsp chipotle sauce
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup lettuce chopped
- 1/2 cup tomatoes diced
- 1/4 cup red onion sliced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup cheese shredded, optional
Instructions
- Mix chicken with chipotle sauce, mayonnaise, lime juice, and seasonings until creamy.
- Warm tortillas in a pan until soft and flexible.
- Layer lettuce on each tortilla.
- Add chipotle chicken mixture on top.
- Add tomatoes, onion, and cheese.
- Fold and roll tightly. Slice and serve.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken that is still tender and juicy.
- The chipotle sauce can be adjusted based on spice preference. Add more for a stronger smoky heat or reduce for a milder taste.
- If the mixture feels too thick, add a small spoon of mayonnaise or a splash of lime juice to loosen it.
- Warming the tortillas is important to prevent tearing and to make rolling easier.
- Do not overfill the wrap, or it may break while rolling or eating.
- Lettuce should be added first to create a barrier and help prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.
- Let cooked chicken cool slightly before mixing with sauce to maintain texture and avoid melting the tortilla.
- Fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and onion add crunch and balance the creamy filling.
- This recipe works well for meal prep, but wraps are best assembled fresh before serving.
- You can store the chipotle chicken mixture separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the assembled wrap on a pan or grill for a crispy outer texture.
- Adjust seasoning after mixing, since chipotle sauce can vary in saltiness and spice level.
