Method
 

Steps
  1. Heat the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and warm for 1 minute. Add cooked chicken and taco seasoning, stirring for 4–5 minutes until heated through.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Wrap flour tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds until warm and pliable.
  3. Set Up Your Toppings Station: Gather toppings like shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, and sour cream in a clean area to assemble easily.
  4. Build the Wrap: Place a small corn tortilla in the center of each flour tortilla. Fill with chicken, sour cream, salsa, cheese, lettuce, and any optional toppings.
  5. Fold the Tortillas: Fold the edges of the flour tortilla to encase the filling securely, starting with the sides and finishing with the top flap.
  6. Cook the Wraps: Heat the skillet over medium heat, place wraps seam-side down, and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Flip and Finish: Flip each wrap carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the other side is crispy and golden.
  8. Slice and Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, let rest, then cut in half diagonally and serve hot.
