Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into thin strips
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural flavoring)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (natural spice)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Meat and Cheese
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or slices
Vegetables and Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh lettuce, washed and dried
- 1 large tomato, sliced
Sauce and Extras
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the pieces in olive oil ensuring they are evenly coated for a perfect crispy texture when cooked.
- Cook the Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil, while leaving some bacon fat in the pan for flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: In the skillet with the remaining bacon fat, add the seasoned chicken strips. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Add a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) near the end to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat. Layer with fresh lettuce first, followed by tomato slices. Add the warm crispy chicken strips and turkey bacon on top. Generously sprinkle plant-based cheese over the fillings for a creamy finish.
- Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Optionally, toast the wrapped tortillas in a pan over medium heat for a couple of minutes to melt the plant-based cheese and add an extra crunch. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Use warm tortillas to make wrapping easier and prevent cracking.
- Cut chicken breast into evenly sized strips for uniform cooking.
- Drain turkey bacon on paper towels to avoid greasy wraps.
- Adjust the amount of plant-based cheese to your creaminess preference.
- Avoid overfilling wraps to prevent filling from spilling out and maintain neatness.
