Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme
- Double the Crunch: If you want extra crunch, add more tortilla chips or use two tostada shells.
- Heat Control: For a spicier Crunchwrap, add hot sauce, salsa verde, or jalapeños to the mix.
- Fold Like a Pro: When folding the tortilla, start from one side and overlap each flap over the last for a perfect seal.
- Cheese Matters: Melting cheese works best, so go for nacho cheese, queso, or a good melty cheese like cheddar.
Variations to Try
Vegetarian Crunchwrap Supreme: Use black beans, refried beans, or grilled veggies as your base, and load up on toppings like guacamole, jalapeños, and cheese.
Buffalo Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme: Swap the traditional chicken for buffalo-style chicken, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and top with celery for a spicy twist.
BBQ Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme: Mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and add coleslaw for a sweet, tangy, and crunchy variation.
How to Serve Your Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme
This dish is a meal in itself, but it pairs beautifully with sides for a fuller dining experience. Serve it with:
- Mexican rice or Cilantro-lime rice
- Refried beans or Black beans
- Chips and salsa or Guacamole
For a lighter option, serve your Crunchwrap with a fresh salad on the side.
How to Store and Reheat
If you have leftovers (though it’s unlikely!), wrap your cooked Crunchwrap in foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to restore its crispiness.
Freezing Option:
You can also freeze ungrilled Crunchwraps. Assemble them as instructed, wrap each one in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight and grill as usual.
Recipe FAQs
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prepare all the ingredients (chicken, cheese, toppings) ahead of time and refrigerate them. When you’re ready to eat, assemble and grill the Crunchwrap for a fresh, crispy meal.
Can I Use Other Proteins?
Absolutely! While chicken is the star of this recipe, you can substitute it with ground beef, shredded pork, or even a plant-based protein like tofu or black beans for a vegetarian version.
How Do I Prevent the Crunchwrap From Falling Apart?
The key is using the right size tortilla (large) and ensuring you fold it tightly. Also, make sure your tostada shell or tortilla chips aren’t too big, as they can poke through the wrap.
Can I Make This Crunchwrap Gluten-Free?
Yes! Swap out the flour tortilla for a large gluten-free tortilla, and ensure your tostada or chips are gluten-free as well.
Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme
Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme - It’s a heavenly combination of crispy chicken, gooey cheese, and fresh veggies all wrapped up in a warm, grilled tortilla.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shredded cooked chicken
- 5 burrito-sized flour tortillas
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 tostada shells
- 1 cup queso blanco
- ½ cup guacamole
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Prep Your Tortillas: Start by ripping one tortilla into quarters. These pieces will help seal the wraps later.
- Assemble the Wrap: Place a scoop of shredded chicken in the center of a whole tortilla, leaving space around the edges. Drizzle with queso blanco for that melty goodness.
- Layer on the Crunch: Spread a dollop of sour cream on a tostada shell and place it on top of the chicken and queso.
- Add Your Toppings: Sprinkle on diced tomatoes, red onion, guacamole, and Monterey Jack cheese for extra flavor.
- Seal It: Take one quarter of the ripped tortilla and place it over the toppings. Fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, pleating as you go to form a neat package.
- Cook Until Crispy: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook your crunchwrap, seam-side down first, until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side.
- Repeat & Serve: Follow the same steps for the remaining crunchwraps. Serve with your favorite toppings like extra sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce.
