How to Make Chicken Crunch Wrap (Step-by-Step)
1. Prepare the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet, add cooked chicken and taco seasoning, and warm through. Shred or chop into bite-size pieces and keep warm.
2. Set Up Your Assembly Station
Lay out all ingredients. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds so they fold easily.
3. Build the Crunch Layer
Place one small corn tortilla in the center of each large flour tortilla. This creates the signature crunch.
4. Add Fillings
Add seasoned chicken, spread sour cream and salsa, then sprinkle cheese, lettuce, and any extra toppings. Keep everything centered.
5. Fold the Wrap
Fold the edges of the flour tortilla up and over the filling, working in a circle until sealed.
6. Grill Until Crispy
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down first and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Storage & Reheating Tips
Best When Fresh
These wraps are best eaten right away when the tortilla is crisp and fillings are fresh.
Refrigerator Storage
Wrap tightly and store for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry skillet — avoid the microwave to prevent sogginess.
Make-Ahead Tip
Prep all ingredients in advance, then assemble and grill fresh for best texture.
Popular Chicken Crunch Wrap Variations
Buffalo Chicken Crunch Wrap
Toss chicken with buffalo sauce, add ranch and celery for classic heat.
BBQ Chicken Ranch
Use BBQ sauce with chicken, ranch dressing, and crispy bacon bits.
Mexican Street-Style
Add lime juice, cumin, black beans, corn, cilantro, and queso fresco.
Breakfast Crunch Wrap
Swap chicken for scrambled eggs, sausage, or bacon with hash browns.
Top Tip for Perfect Crunch Wraps
Do not overfill. Too much filling makes folding impossible and causes tearing. Also, wait until the wrap releases naturally from the pan before flipping — forcing it will ruin the seal.
Let hot chicken cool slightly before assembling to avoid soggy tortillas.
