  • 1/4 cup Water

  • 1 cup Cooked seasoned rice
  • 1.5 cups Shredded cheese blend Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Mozzarella
For Assembly

  • 1/4 cup Chipotle sauce

  • 1 tbsp Unsalted butter For cooking tortillas
  • 4 Flour tortillas 10-12 inch burrito size

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground chicken until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the water and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until the seasoning is fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cooked seasoned rice and half of the shredded cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted.
  4. Lay out a large flour tortilla. Spread a layer of nacho cheese sauce down the center, leaving a border.
  5. Top the nacho cheese with the chicken and rice mixture.
  6. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and sour cream.
  7. Sprinkle the crushed tortilla strips over the sauces.
  8. Add the remaining shredded cheese on top of the tortilla strips.
  9. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling to create a sealed wrap.
  10. Melt the butter in a clean skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and cook for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Flip the wrap and cook the other side for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and heated through. You can also use a panini press.
  12. Let the wrap rest for 5 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
