VERY tasty with a full bodied flavor. I was quite pleased. My kids liked it too! NOTE: If doubling the recipe, I did not double the chocolate, I used 1 1/2 ounces. I cheated and used a rotisserie chicken, Inspired by a Weight Watchers recipe. Use fat free or light ingredients to lower the calorie content.

Folded Hot Chicken Wraps Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: Walmart Chicken Breast Tenderloins, kosher salt, all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, buttermilk, hot sauce, large egg, vegetable oil, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, freshly ground black pepper, flour tortillas, shredded iceberg lettuce, bread and butter pickles, mayonnaise, reserved frying oil

Provided by Walmart

Yield 8 wraps

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb Walmart Chicken Breast Tenderloins
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 large egg
2 cups vegetable oil, or as needed
2 ½ tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup bread and butter pickles
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup reserved frying oil

Steps:

  • Make the fried chicken: Cut the Walmart Breast Tenderloins into 1-inch (2.54 cm) cubes and season evenly with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • In a shallow bowl, stir together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt until combined. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, hot sauce, and egg until smooth.
  • Working in batches, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour mixture. Set on a plate while you heat the oil for frying.
  • Fill a large, high-walled cast iron skillet with about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 360-375°F (182-190°C). Set a wire rack on top of paper towels.
  • Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side, or until deep golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Reserve the frying oil.
  • Make the hot spiced oil: In a large bowl, whisk together the cayenne, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Carefully pour in ½ cup of the reserved frying oil and whisk to combine.
  • Working in batches if necessary, toss the fried chicken in the spiced oil until evenly coated, adding more oil if the mixture gets too thick. Return to the wire rack and let cool enough to handle.
  • Assemble the wraps: Roughly chop the chicken.
  • Set a tortilla on a cutting board. Use a knife to cut from the center of the tortilla down to the bottom edge. Scoop about ¼ cup of the chopped chicken onto the bottom left quadrant of the tortilla, to the left of the cut. Working clockwise, add ¼ cup shredded lettuce to the top left quadrant, 2 tablespoons chopped pickles to the top right quadrant, and drizzle or spread 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise over the bottom right quadrant. Starting from the bottom left and working clockwise, fold each quadrant over the next, pressing gently after each fold.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved frying oil over medium-high heat. Working 2 at a time and adding more oil between batches, fry each wrap on both sides for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown, being careful to keep the fillings inside.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your wraps come together quickly and easily.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your wraps will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce, and high-quality chicken.
  • Cook your chicken properly: The chicken is the star of the show in these wraps, so make sure it's cooked perfectly. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it's safe to eat.
  • Make your own mole sauce: The mole sauce is what really makes these wraps special. If you have the time, I highly recommend making your own mole sauce from scratch. It's not as difficult as you might think, and it's worth the extra effort.
  • Assemble your wraps carefully: Once your ingredients are cooked and prepared, it's time to assemble your wraps. Be careful not to overfill the wraps, or they will be difficult to eat. Start with a tortilla, add a layer of chicken, mole sauce, and cheese, then top with your favorite toppings.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken mole wraps are best served immediately after they are assembled. This will ensure that the tortillas are soft and pliable and the mole sauce is still warm and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chicken mole wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken mole wraps a try.
