Steps:
- Note: (A maximum of 2 hour) marinating required, so allow for time.
- Comgine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Add four chicken breasts to the marinade, cover and chill for 2 hours. Don't let the chicken marinate for much more than that or it could get tough.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare the dipping sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well then cover and chill. This will allow all the flavors to develop.
- Combine pico de gallo ingredients; cover and chill.
- To complete the fajita rollups, preheat grill to medium/high heat. Grill the chicken breast for 4 to 7 minutes per side or until done.
- Build each roll-up by first laying a large flour tortilla in a large skillet over low-heat. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the combined cheeses over the surface of the tortilla while it heats up in the pan. When the cheese begins to melt, remove the tortilla from the pan. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded lettuce in a strip across the center of the tortilla, followed by about 3 tablespoons of pico de gallo. Slice one grilled chicken breast into bite-size chunks and arrange the chicken on the lettuce. Fold the ends of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom. Make a diagonal cut across the center of the roll-up and serve with a small dish of the Mexi-Ranch dipping sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the most flavorful wraps, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy option.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano, or try a more complex marinade with ingredients like chipotle peppers, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the chicken properly: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through but not overcooked, cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your wraps more flavorful and easier to roll. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can warm up store-bought tortillas in a skillet or microwave before using them.
- Load up on toppings: The more toppings you add to your wraps, the more flavorful they will be. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Mexican chicken wraps are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a few simple tips and techniques, you can make Mexican chicken wraps that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite restaurant. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give Mexican chicken wraps a try.
