Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Chicken Filling

Begin by finely chopping the chicken fillet or using pre-ground chicken. Mix in your preferred salt and spices to enhance the flavor. Ensure it is well blended for an even taste.

Once combined, distribute the chicken mixture evenly across all the tortillas, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.

Step 2

Wrap and Freeze

Next, take each tortilla and roll them tightly to secure the filling inside. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.

Place the wrapped tortillas in the freezer; this makes for a convenient meal prep option you can use later.

Step 3

Cook and Serve

When you're ready to enjoy a wrap, remove it from the freezer and cook it directly in a pan with a small amount of oil. There’s no need to thaw them first.

Once heated through, add your favorite toppings like cheese, lettuce, sauce, and diced tomatoes for a delicious finish.

Faq

  • What kind of chicken should I use?

    You can use either chicken breast or thighs, ground chicken is also a great option!

  • Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

    Yes! Prepare your wraps, freeze them, and simply cook them from frozen when you're ready to eat!

  • How do I know if my frying pan is ready?

    You can do a water drop test: sprinkle a few drops of water in the pan. If they sizzle and evaporate quickly, your pan is hot and ready!

  • Can I bake these instead of frying?

    Absolutely! Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

  • What spices work best in the filling?

    A mix of cumin, paprika, and garlic powder works wonderfully! Feel free to adjust based on your taste!

  • How can I prevent the tortillas from tearing?

    Make sure they are warmed slightly before wrapping; this keeps them pliable and less likely to tear!
