Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme (Instant Pot)

My family could not get over how good these chicken crunchwraps were! They were all raving about them. I agreed! They are super tasty and really easy, actually. This is a super fun meal that is perfect for kids and adults both.

You’ll make the chicken part of the recipe in your Instant Pot (or crockpot). You can use frozen or fresh chicken so no thought is necessary ahead of time. That’s my kind of a meal!

After the chicken is cooked you’ll load up a tortilla with all the fixings, fold it over and then cook it on a griddle for a couple minutes until is golden brown. Believe me that this is when the magic happens! By heating the tortilla and cooking it the cheese gets melty and all the flavors come together. And the texture of the tortilla is perfect with that little bit of crispiness.

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs and/or boneless, skinless chicken breasts–I like to use a combination of the two
• Olive oil–or vegetable/canola oil
• Taco seasoning–I used McCormicks brand
• Minced garlic–you can also use a teaspoon of garlic powder instead
• Dried onion flakes–I bought the big container at Costco
• Chicken broth–or 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
• Large flour tortillas
• Pepper jack or colby jack cheese–I grate mine off the block instead of buying pre-shredded cheese
• Fresh pico de gallo or salsa–we made our own. See the salsa recipe in this post.
• Sour cream–I used full fat but reduced fat works too
• Fritos–you can also use another crunchy chip like tortilla chips

Instructions

1. Prepare chicken: Place chicken into Instant Pot. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, garlic and onion flakes and stir to coat the chicken. Pour in the broth.  
2. Pressure cook: Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 12 minutes for fresh chicken (or 15 minutes for frozen chicken). When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
3. Chop chicken: Use tongs to move chicken to a cutting board. Chop or shred the chicken and then return it back into the Instant Pot and stir in with the juices. 
4. Heat griddle: When ready to assemble the crunchwraps turn a griddle on to 350° F to heat up (you can also do this in a pan on the stove over medium heat). 
5. Layer ingredients on tortilla: Place a tortilla flat on the counter. Scoop about a half cup of chicken into middle of tortilla. Then top the chicken with ¼ cup of cheese, 1 Tbsp pico, 1 Tbsp sour cream and ¼ cup of Fritos. 
6. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, followed by the other side. Press lightly to flatten.
7. Spray the seam side of the wrap with nonstick cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil (this helps them get extra crispy). Place the wraps seam-side down on the preheated griddle or skillet (cooking this side first will help them not fall apart). Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-4 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula to flatten a bit while cooking. Spray the top with nonstick cooking spray and flip. Cook for another 2-4 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden and the filling is hot and cheese is melty.
8. Serve: Cut the wraps in half and serve warm.

Slow cooker instructions: Place chicken into slow cooker. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, garlic and onion flakes and stir to coat the chicken. Pour in the broth. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Then complete the recipe by starting with step 3.
