Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season the Chicken: If your chicken isn't already seasoned, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked, shredded chicken and the taco seasoning, stirring until the chicken is coated and warmed through. Set it aside and keep it warm.
  2. Set Up Your Station: Gently warm your large flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable for folding. Set out all your fillings—lettuce, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and any other toppings—in small bowls, assembly-line style.
  3. Build Your Layers: Lay a large flour tortilla flat. Place a small, crunchy corn tortilla right in the center. Pile your warm seasoned chicken onto the corn tortilla. Next, spread on the sour cream and salsa. Sprinkle generously with the shredded cheese, then top with the shredded lettuce and any of your other optional goodies.
  4. The Signature Fold: Starting at one edge, fold the side of the large flour tortilla up and over the center filling. Continue this process, making small, overlapping pleats, working your way around the circle until the entire filling is enclosed. It should look like a hexagon when you're done.
  5. Get It Golden and Crispy: Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the folded wrap seam-side down in the hot pan. This helps seal the folds together. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Gently flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Slice in half with a sharp knife and serve immediately.

Notes

To prevent tearing, warm large flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable. Avoid overstuffing. Cook the wrap in a hot, dry skillet, starting seam-side down to seal it. For meal prepping, prepare the chicken and chop fillings up to two days in advance and refrigerate in separate airtight containers.
