Description
A healthy take on the classic crunch wrap with a satisfying crispy shell and savory chicken filling, made without grains or dairy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
- 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
- 1 tsp (2 g) ground cumin
- 1 tsp (2 g) smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil for browning
- 6 large cassava tortillas, about 22–24 cm (8.5–9.5 in)
- 80 g (about 2 cups) baked plantain chips, crushed
- 160 g (1 medium) ripe avocado, mashed
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) lime juice
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) water
- 1/8 tsp (pinch) salt
- 80 g (2 cups) shredded romaine
- 80 g (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 30 g (1/4 cup) finely chopped red onion
Instructions
- Season and chop the chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) pieces and toss with salt, cumin, and smoked paprika. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Brown the chicken: Heat avocado oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
- Make the avocado-lime crema: In a small bowl, mash the avocado, whisk in lime juice and water until smooth; season with salt.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a cassava tortilla on a surface, spoon cooked chicken, add plantain chips, romaine, and crema. Fold edges to form a sealed disc.
- Seal and press: Heat a skillet and add oil. Place wrap seam-side down and press gently for 30 seconds.
- Crisp the wraps: Cook each wrap 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Maintain even browning by adjusting heat as needed.
- Finish on a rack: Transfer wraps to a wire rack and keep warm in a 95°C (200°F) oven for up to 10 minutes.
Notes
For added crunch, consider adding baked chips or adjusting filling amounts to avoid sogginess. You can prepare the chicken and crema up to a day ahead.
