Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken tenders and diced onion, sautéing until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and kosher salt over the chicken mixture. Stir well and add a splash of water. Allow it to simmer until the sauce thickens, approximately 10 minutes.
  3. In a jar, combine sour cream, lime juice, and any desired herbs. Shake or stir until creamy and well-blended.
  4. Cut a slit in each large tortilla to create a flap. Layer the chicken filling, cooked rice, diced poblano peppers, spicy ranch, and shredded cheese onto each tortilla.
  5. Fold each tortilla into a triangle. In a skillet, drizzle a bit more olive oil over medium heat. Cook each folded wrap for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
  6. Sprinkle tajin on top of the warm wraps just before serving. Add extra spicy ranch and sliced avocado for garnish, if desired.
