Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 avocados
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps avocado oil
- 6 flour tortilla wraps (8 inches)
- ½ cup salsa
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Seasoning Preparation: Blend garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder, creating a robust spice mix for the chicken.
- Chicken Cooking: Heat skillet to medium-high, coat with thin oil layer, and sear chicken until golden-brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), approximately 3-5 minutes per side.
- Chicken Resting: Allow cooked chicken to rest for 2-3 minutes, then slice into uniform strips.
- Wrap Assembly: Lay tortillas flat, spread salsa across center, generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese, and layer chicken strips and creamy avocado slices.
- Wrap Forming: Fold bottom of tortilla upward, tuck in sides, and roll tightly to create a compact wrap.
- Grilling Wrap: Return skillet to medium heat, place wraps seam-side down, and grill 2-3 minutes until exterior turns crispy and golden-brown.
- Final Presentation: Flip wraps carefully, complete grilling until cheese melts, and serve immediately with additional salsa or sour cream for dipping.
Notes
- Seasoning Technique: Coat chicken evenly with spices to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Temperature Precision: Use a meat thermometer to verify chicken reaches 165°F for safe consumption and optimal juiciness.
- Wrap Rolling Skills: Fold tortilla tightly to prevent ingredient spillage and maintain structural integrity during grilling.
- Cheese Melting Secret: Allow cheese to slightly melt before grilling to create a gooey, cohesive wrap experience.
