Step 1: Grill the chicken.
In true GWD fashion, I used chicken thighs for this recipe. This cut is fattier with more flavor than a breast. That said, use the cut you prefer best. Drizzle some olive oil on the chicken and season with Dad’s Taco seasoning.
Preheat the griddle to a medium heat. If you do not have a griddle, a stove top will work just as well. Once the oil on the flat top is heated up, place the seasoned chicken thighs on and sear 4minutes per side until the internal temp is at 175 degrees. Remove the grilled chicken off the griddle and let it rest.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 2: Prep the stuffing.
I recommend using only a few simple veggie options for the chicken crunchwrap stuffing. For this recipe I used, chopped up iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes and red onion.
Also, you will need a burrito flour tortilla, a taco sized flour tortilla and a tostada.
Finally, make sure you have enough cheese. I used 2 different cheese types. A Mexican shredded blend and shredded mozzarella. Feel free to play around with the cheese variety depending on which you like best.
Step 3: Time to assemble the chicken crunchwrap!
Before you do anything, make sure to warm up your burrito tortilla.
Begin with a handful of the chopped grilled chicken followed by a layer of cheese. Drizzle some sour cream for creaminess and cover with a tostada. Next add the veggies, season with more Dad’s Taco seasoning and cover with a taco tortilla. Finally, wrap it all up with the edges of the burrito tortilla.
Take your fully assembled chicken crunchwrap back on the griddle with the seam down for it to seal. After 1-2 minutes, flip it over for the final crunch on the top.
Finally, remove it off the griddle, slice it open dip in some salsa and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, any chicken thigh recipe can be replaced with the breast. The breast is leaner than the thighs, therefore remove the meat at 160 degrees and let it rest. This will ensure a tender and juicy chicken breast.
All my recipes can be replicated in the oven, stove top or gas grill. You do not need a big green egg or weber grill to replicate any of my recipes.
