Ingredients
  

Healthy Chicken Crunch Wrap Ingredients
  • 1 large flour tortilla (10-inch/25cm) Warmed slightly to prevent tearing.
  • 4 oz (115g) grilled chicken breast Finely shredded.
  • 1/4 cup (30g) sharp yellow cheddar cheese Freshly shredded.
  • 1 tbsp (15g) light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp (5ml) hot sauce or sriracha
  • 1 yellow corn tostada shell Crispy and flat.
  • 1 tbsp (15g) light sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (15g) green iceberg lettuce Finely shredded.
  • 2 tbsp (20g) Roma tomatoes Diced and patted dry.
  • 1 tsp (5ml) avocado or olive oil For searing the wrap.

Equipment

  • 1 Large heavy-bottomed skillet Essential for achieving an even, golden-brown sear.
  • 1 Heavy Spatula or Grill Press Helps compress the wrap and seal the folded seams.

Instructions
 

Assembling and Cooking
  1. Toss the warm, finely shredded grilled chicken breast with the shredded sharp yellow cheddar cheese until the cheese begins to melt.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise and hot sauce to create a thick, orange-tinted spicy mayo.
  3. Lay the large flour tortilla flat. Spoon the cheesy chicken mixture into the center, spreading it into a circle. Spread the spicy mayo evenly over the meat.
  4. Press the crispy yellow corn tostada shell directly onto the spicy mayo. Spread the bright white sour cream on top of the tostada, followed by the shredded crisp green iceberg lettuce and diced Roma tomatoes.
  5. Starting at the bottom edge, fold the tortilla up and over the center. Continue pleating in a circular motion, overlapping the edges tightly to form a hexagonal pattern. Press down gently to secure.
  6. Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and press with a heavy spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until light char marks form and the seams are sealed. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden-brown.

Notes

Warm the Tortilla: Briefly microwave your tortilla for 10 seconds before folding to prevent cracking.
Moisture Control: Always pat your diced Roma tomatoes dry so the tostada shell doesn't get soggy.
