Spicy Chipotle Chicken Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the chipotle marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into fries. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- To assemble the wraps, place a flour tortilla on a clean work surface. Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced chipotle chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve the spicy chipotle chicken wraps with a side of crispy sweet potato fries. Enjoy!
The Spicy Chipotle Chicken Wrap with a side of sweet potato fries has a rich history rooted in the fusion of Mexican and American flavors. This dish originated in the Southwestern United States, where chefs sought to combine the smoky heat of chipotle peppers with the succulent tenderness of grilled chicken. The wrap is typically filled with marinated chicken, spicy chipotle sauce, crisp lettuce, and fresh tomatoes, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. The addition of sweet potato fries on the side adds a delightful sweetness and crunch to complement the spicy wrap. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Tex-Mex restaurants, where skilled chefs expertly balance the flavors and textures. To make this dish at home, it's crucial to marinate the chicken in a flavorful chipotle marinade and grill it to perfection. The sweet potato fries should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, providing a satisfying contrast to the spicy wrap. For a unique twist, some chefs also offer a variation with a honey chipotle glaze for the chicken, adding a touch of sweetness to the heat.
