Instructions
- Season chicken in a bowl.
- Sous vide chicken + marinara sauce at 160F for 1-1.5 hours and then shred. Note: If no sous vide, cook/dice/shred chicken however you want, then mix with marinara sauce in a large bowl.
- Strain any excess water/liquid after cooking. When chicken/marinara sauce is mixed in a bowl, consider skimming the top layer of liquid to reduce water content.
- (Optional) Warm up tortillas to room temperature or warm to the touch. To prepare the tortillas to be flexible for folding, roll a tortilla into a cylinder shape. Unroll the tortilla, rotate it 90 degrees, and then roll it into a cylinder again. Repeat as needed.
- Fill a tortilla with ½-⅓ cup cheese, about ½ a cup of the chicken mixture.
- Fold left/right sides inward. Carefully fold the top/bottom sides over to the middle. Be careful not to tear the tortilla at the corners.
- Place wrap on a nonstick skillet with folded side down. Sear wraps on a skillet for 1.5-2 minutes on low/medium heat, then flip and sear another 1.5-2 minutes. OPTIONAL: Instead, use a panini press until tortillas are golden brown.
- (Optional) Serve with extra marinara dipping sauce on the side.
- Seal extra wraps in foil and place in freezer after it cools. You may thaw in the fridge for 1-2 days prior to eating. You can reheat in an oven, toaster oven, or microwave. For microwaves, heat the wrap for 1-2 minutes, cut it in half, flip the insides to the outside edge of the plate. Heat for another 1 minute.
Recipe Notes
- They key here is to reduce the moisture content by straining/skimming out excess water and by searing the wraps.
- You can use about 7 chicken breasts about 4 oz each instead of chicken thighs.
- The tortillas contribute to about half the calories of each wrap. For low calorie options, find a lower calorie wrap/tortilla.
- For the cheese lovers, use 6 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of cheese per wrap.
- For all my recipes, I recommend you find your own preferences for seasoning. I rarely put specific numbers since I personally eyeball it, smell the mixture, and adjust as needed prior to cooking.
