    🧀 Ingredients & Substitutions

    Ingredients for southwest chicken wrap
    • Wraps- You will need 4 burrito-sized wraps or 8 smaller taco-sized flour tortillas for this recipe.
    • Shredded Chicken Breast- You can use rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or make your own chicken. I have an article on 2 easy ways to make shredded chicken. You can make it in the slow cooker or in a skillet on the stove.
    • Southwest Chipotle Sauce– This sauce has a mild heat and tons of flavor. It's pretty easy to make, but if you don't want to make the sauce, you can use a store-bought chipotle dressing or chipotle mayo in its place.
    • Cherry Tomatoes- The tomatoes give the wrap flavor and prevent it from being dry. Don't skip out on them.
    • Lettuce- Lettuce gives the wrap a ton of texture. You can try spinach or arugula if you don't want to use lettuce.

    🔪 How to Make Chipotle Chicken Wrap

    Step 3: Assemble Your Wrap- Lay your tortillas flat. Divide all of the chicken and vegetables equally among the wraps. Add 1 tablespoon of cilantro and 2 tablespoons of chipotle sauce to the wrap. Fold like you would a burrito and cut the wrap in half.

    🍴 How to Meal Prep

    To make this meal prep-friendly, we will omit the avocado and store the sauce and tomatoes in another container (so they don't make the wraps soggy).

    • Step 1: Prep your shredded chicken. Cut the cucumbers and lettuce.
    • Step 2: Assemble the wrap by placing the chicken, cucumber, cilantro, and lettuce in the middle and rolling up the wrap. Store in a meal prep container.
    • Step 3: Make your sauce if you aren't using store-bought sauce. Store in a small sauce container and place in the meal prep container.
    • Step 4: Quarter the tomatoes. Store in a small container and place in the meal prep container.
    • Step 5: Store the meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    ❓ Recipe Questions

    Are you supposed to heat up a chicken wrap?
    You can eat them warm or cold. I think this Chipotle Chicken Wrap is better cold since it has a lot of vegetables in it.

    Do you have to warm up the tortilla wrap before using it?
    Nope. Since you are using a flour tortilla, there is no need to warm it up before using it in your wrap.

    There are many variations, but most have chicken, a chipotle sauce, and fresh vegetables. This wrap has shredded chicken, chipotle southwest sauce, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and cilantro.
