Equipment

  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 10.5 ounces chicken breast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Vegetables:

  • 2.5 ounces cherry tomatoes
  • 2.5 ounces corn kernels
  • 1 cup crisp lettuce sliced into strips
  • 1/2 red onion

For the Sour Cream Sauce:

  • 8.8 ounces sour cream 20% fat
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Additional:

  • 4 tortillas see notes

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into strips and season with salt and pepper. Let it sit for at least an hour to absorb the flavors.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken strips, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan so each piece cooks evenly. It should take a few minutes per side. Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
  • Set Aside: Once cooked, set the chicken aside to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Halve the cherry tomatoes. Rinse and drain the corn. Slice the lettuce into strips. Cut the red onion into thin slices.
  • Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and onion powder. Mix well.
  • Assemble the Tortillas: Warm each tortilla in a skillet for about 10 seconds on each side. Spread 1 tablespoon of the sauce down the middle of each tortilla. Layer with corn, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce. Place 2-3 pieces of chicken on top and add another tablespoon of sauce over the chicken.
  • Wrap It Up: Fold or roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Notes

I used 10-inch tortillas and made 4 servings. If you're using smaller tortillas, you might need about 6.
