How to Make This sheet pan chicken wraps Recipe

Here’s how to bring it all together and create some amazing sheet pan chicken wraps! Follow these simple steps for a delicious and easy dinner.

1. 1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

1. 2. Prepare the chicken and vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips, sliced bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño (if using).

1. 3. Season the mixture: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

1. 4. Arrange on the sheet pan: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Try not to overcrowd the sheet pan, this will keep your food from roasting correctly!

1. 5. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

1. 6. Warm the tortillas: While the chicken and vegetables are baking, warm the tortillas according to package directions. You can warm them in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven. Warmed tortillas are easier to bend making them the perfect containers for these sheet pan chicken wraps!

1. 7. Assemble the wraps: Fill each tortilla with the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture. Add your desired toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.

1. 8. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the wraps.

How to Serve This sheet pan chicken wraps Recipe

These sheet pan chicken wraps are best served immediately while the chicken and vegetables are still warm. Offer a variety of toppings in separate bowls so everyone can customize their wraps.

Consider serving these wraps with a side of Mexican rice or black beans for a complete meal. A simple salad with a lime vinaigrette would also provide a refreshing contrast. Don’t forget the chips and guacamole!

How to Store This sheet pan chicken wraps Recipe

If you have leftovers, store them properly to maintain their flavor and quality.

Refrigeration: Store the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the tortillas separately. Freezing: While not ideal, you can freeze the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture. Store it in a freezer safe container for up to 2 months. Reheating: Reheat the chicken and vegetable mixture in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. Warm the tortillas before assembling the wraps.

Tips to Make This sheet pan chicken wraps Recipe

• Chicken variations: Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a richer flavor. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• Vegetable substitutions: Feel free to swap out the bell peppers and red onion for other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or corn.
• Spice level: Adjust the amount of chili powder and jalapeño to control the spice level. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add extra heat.
• Marinade: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) for even more flavor. A simple marinade of lime juice, garlic, and spices works wonders.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Remember to not overcrowd your sheet pan. Adding too many ingredients at once will keep them from roasting properly.

Helpful Notes for This sheet pan chicken wraps Recipe

• Sheet pan size: A large sheet pan (approximately 12×18 inches) is recommended for this recipe. If you don’t have one, you may need to use two smaller pans.
• Tortilla options: Flour tortillas are softer and more pliable, while corn tortillas are gluten-free and have a slightly different flavor. Choose whichever you prefer.
• Toppings galore: Get creative with your toppings! Other options include pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, pickled onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
• Pre-cut veggies: Save time by using pre-cut vegetables from the grocery store. This will cut down on prep time significantly.

Variation of This sheet pan chicken wraps Recipe

• Vegetarian: Swap the chicken for black beans or chickpeas for a vegetarian version. Add a bit of extra chili powder or cumin to boost the flavor.
• Spicy: Add a dash of cayenne or use a spicier pepper, such as a serrano, to kick up the heat.
• Sweet and smoky: Add a tablespoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the chicken and vegetable mixture for a sweet and smoky flavor profile. This version pairs well with pineapple salsa.
• Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas: Use fajita seasoning instead of the individual spices for a classic fajita flavor.
