Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cups jarred salsa (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 8 pieces flour or corn tortillas
• 1 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterrey Jack, or a blend)
• 2 cups chopped lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0 optional toppings such as guacamole, jalapeños, or sliced avocado

Directions

Step 1

If using the stove, begin by placing a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan.

Step 2

If using a crockpot, place the chicken breasts directly into the basin of the crockpot.

Step 3

Pour the salsa over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the top.

Step 4

For the stove, cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

For the crockpot, cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the pan or crockpot. Mix it with the salsa to ensure the chicken is coated in sauce.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and place in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Assemble the wraps: Place a scoop of shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Add any additional toppings of your choice.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the wrap tightly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
