Fajita Chicken Crunchwraps

 I’m about to give you the most delicious, trashed-up recipe in existence on my site so far!  Fajita Chicken Crunchwraps are here to satisfy all your cravings-grilled chicken, ooey-gooey pepperjack cheese sauce and more shredded cheese folded up and griddled to golden-brown perfection, served with a quick pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream.

In all honesty, I have never had a Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell (nachos supreme no beef and chicken chalupa with Baja sauce all the way), but I know how delicious this is and I have it on good authority that the TB version is pretty dang good.I always associate Taco Bell with drunk-people food (but let’s be real-I’ve eaten it many times sober) and I’m assuming these would work well in that regard if you came home late at night after a few bevvies and 1) planned ahead and had all the applicable ingredients at hand or 2) were the luckiest person on Earth and opened your fridge at 2 am to see all the things you needed to make this right in front of you.  I can 100% guarantee this will be better (and better for you!) than the late-night drive-thru version.  But I’m not here to judge you if you just have to have your Uber driver get you to that fast-food version and save this for a delicious, homemade dinner at a more reasonable, less fuzzy time of night.

There are two parts of this recipe that might be considered more difficult-not overstuffing the crunchwraps when layering the filling and the actual assembly/folding.  Watch this video from Pinch of Yum (also the inspiration for the recipe!) to examine the folding technique.  It helps to have the larger tortillas slightly warmed and softened (a few seconds in the microwave covered in a damp paper towel will down the trick) so the wraps don’t tear when folded.

You can make the chicken any way you like, but I love the sharp tang of my Mom’s Fajita Chicken to cut through some of the richness of the cheese and fixings.  Ahh, before I forget! The “crunch” in the crunchwrap comes from a crispy tostada placed inside the wrap when assembling.  It’s kinda lost in my pictures, but I swear there is a crunchy fried tortilla in there.  You can use flour or corn tortillas to make them-or buy ones like these if you don’t feel like frying.

Enjoy these Taco Bell fake-outs…this weekend!
