Main Ingredients- Frozen chicken (breast, thigh, or tenderloin) 150-200g
- Frozen avocado 1/2 piece
- 1 slice of cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 1 tortilla (flour, whole wheat, etc.)
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves (substitutable with other leafy greens)
Sauce & Seasoning- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1/3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1/3 Tbsp mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin cooking, take out the frozen chicken and avocado from the freezer and let them thaw naturally, or use your microwave’s defrost function to soften them. The cooking time for the chicken can vary depending on the cut, so ensure it’s thawed appropriately.
Step 2
Heat a frying pan and place the thawed chicken in it. Cook until golden brown. Season with a pinch of black pepper while cooking. For a more exotic and rich flavor, feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices, such as paprika or oregano.
Step 3
Spread the Sriracha sauce and mayonnaise evenly over the tortilla. You can spread them separately or mix them together first, but since they will blend naturally on the tortilla, you can simply spread them directly without mixing beforehand.
Step 4
Mash the thawed avocado with a fork or dice it into small pieces. Spread it evenly over the tortilla. The creamy avocado will add a deep and rich flavor to your sandwich.
Step 5
Place a slice of cheese on top of the avocado. Both sliced and shredded cheese work well. For extra creaminess, you can microwave the cheese for about 30 seconds to slightly melt it before adding other ingredients. (Optional step)
Step 6
Arrange the cooked chicken on top of the avocado and cheese. To prevent the filling from spilling out when you roll the tortilla, it’s best to pile the ingredients in the center.
Step 7
Finally, add 4 clean romaine lettuce leaves on top of the chicken. You can substitute romaine with other vegetables like shredded cabbage, bell peppers, or cucumbers for added crunch and freshness.
Step 8
Now it’s time to roll the tortilla tightly. Using plastic wrap (like Saran Wrap or cling film) will help you shape and secure the sandwich firmly. Roll the tortilla from top to bottom, tucking in the ends like candy wrappers for a neat finish. If rolling is difficult, you can simply fold the tortilla in half to create a delicious half-moon sandwich.
Step 9
Slice the finished tortilla sandwich into bite-sized pieces and serve on a plate. Enjoy your delicious and wholesome meal!
