INGREDIENTS

• Tortillas - either homemade, corn tortillas or any other type of flour tortilla. If you are gluten free sensitive, check the package for appropriate Gluten Free labeling. I used large, burrito-sized gluten-free tortillas (In Europe Old El Paso brand sells gluten-free tortillas and they are amazing and don't break like other brands!).
• Panko breadcrumbs - this is the most important part when making a Breaded Chicken to achieve that extra crispiness. Check the package for the gluten-free label.
• Red onion - adds another crispy layer and sharp flavor. Red onion is meant to be used in it's raw form in cold dishes or wraps. A sweeter white salad onion could work but won't give that zing that red onion has.
• Lettuce - fresh crispy Romaine, Iceberg lettuce, or other favorite leafy and crunchy lettuce.
• Bacon - cooked until crispy because we like extra crispiness in our chicken wraps! Choose a thicker-cut bacon for an even more crunchy texture.
• Chicken - choose between medium chicken breasts or chicken tenders. I like to cook the chicken on medium-high for 3-4 minutes in spices and panko crumbs which always results in a perfectly crispy chicken on the outside and tender on the inside. I do get it, sometimes we don't have time at all, in this case any precooked chicken, rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken will work. In this case, just skip the breading part.
• Avocado Creamy dressing - this is so easy to whip up and it makes a great creamy sauce base that complements the salty bacon and chicken flavor. For a quicker solution, a store bought avocado crema or smooth guacamole is a great alternative. Don't skip the avocado, as this what makes this wrap extra special and balances the textures and flavors.
• Fresh herbs - if you're not a fan of parsley, ditch it entirely and use green onions, chives or cilantro instead. Dried cilantro or parsley can be used as well.
• Cheese - shredded Cheddar Cheese, Mozzarella, Provolone, Monterey Jack are all good melting cheese varieties.
• For an ultimate comfort food treat, make these Homemade Tater Tots or Homemade Parmesan Truffle Fries to serve with the chicken wrap!

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Make the Avocado Sauce!

Make the sauce by mashing the avocados in a bowl until smooth (I like to leave a few chunks here and there) and drizzle with lime or lemon juice to prevent avocados from browning.

Add sour cream, parsley, salt & pepper, garlic powder. Mix to combine, and set aside. You can also use simple 3 ingredients Guacamole here.

Step 2. Crispy Chicken layer.

Line up 3 bowls: First with flour, the second with beaten egg, and the final with Panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Cut chicken breasts in two lengthwise. Place them on an even surface such as a wooden cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound on both sides.

One by one coat in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, ensuring you fully coat at each stage (especially the last).

Step 3. Cook the Chicken and Bacon.

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Wipe down the excess fat and using kitchen tongs carefully place the breaded chicken in the skillet.

Cook the chicken over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on both sides. Cook until the chicken turns golden brown, crispy, and cooked through the center.

Set aside on a plate with a paper towel.

Step 4. Assemble The Crispy Chicken Wraps.

Spread the avocado crema in the center of each tortilla (about 2 heaping tablespoons).

Follow with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, bacon, mozzarella cheese, chicken, and top with cheddar cheese slices. Leave a couple of inches free on all sides.

Note. You only need a small amount of filling, usually less than you think.

Fold in the sides, almost until the middle leaving a couple of inches free and the filling peeking through.

Holding the sides folded, bring up the bottom flap over the filling and keep rolling until the filling is tightly secured and nothing comes out.

You want a tightly rolled-up wrap like in the pictures below.

Step 5. Warm up the wraps and serve!

Transfer the chicken wraps to a dry skillet/grill pan over medium (or medium-low) heat and warm up the wraps just until they become golden brown.

I usually leave the wraps for about 3-5 minutes under a closed lid, flipping the sides as needed.

Remove from pan and cut in half. Drizzle the wraps with lemon juice, sour cream, garnish with fresh herbs and serve while warm.
