How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Crunchwrap

Step 1: Prep the Chicken and Veggies

Start by slicing your chicken, onions, and colorful peppers into strips. Toss them in a big bowl with olive oil and taco seasoning until everything’s coated in that beautiful blend. Spread the mixture out evenly on a large baking sheet so they roast (not steam!) and pop them into a hot oven at 400°F. Roast for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked and everything looks deliciously browned.

Step 2: Mix Up the Dip

While the chicken and veggies are roasting, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning, drained green chilies, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl. Give it a good stir, then refrigerate so the flavors meld and get even better.

Step 3: Layer and Assemble the Crunchwrap

Lower the oven to 350°F. Brush another baking sheet with melted butter—that’s your ticket to super crispy tortillas. Place a single tortilla in the center, then surround it with six others so they overlap and hang over the pan edges—this creates the wrap!

You’ll build the filling in layers right to the pan’s edges (don’t put filling on the overhanging part—it needs to fold up!). Start with half the cheese, then add half the chicken and veggies. Layer on all the nacho cheese chips for that signature crunch. Add the rest of the chicken and veggies, and finish with the remaining cheese.

Step 4: Fold, Cover, and Bake

Fold the overhanging tortillas over the filling, then top with two more tortillas to seal everything up tight (no leaks means no mess!). Cover with parchment or wax paper, and weigh it down with another sheet pan—adding a heavy skillet on top is even better. This keeps everything snug.

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, until golden, melty, and crisp.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Let your sheet pan crunchwrap cool just a few minutes so it slices neatly. Serve big, satisfying squares with your creamy dip and all your favorite garnishes.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

  • Drain Well: After roasting, use tongs to transfer the chicken and veggies—skip the pan juices or the tortillas can go soggy.
  • Pressing Matters: Don’t skip the weights on top before baking. It’s what delivers that signature crunch!
  • Shred Cheese Yourself: Freshly grated cheese melts so much better than pre-shredded.
  • Customize the Crunch: Crush your chips lightly so you get an even layer and plenty of crunch in each bite.
  • Taste the Dip: Give the dip a taste before chilling. Want more zing? Add extra lime or seasoning.

How to Serve

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Crunchwrap Recipe

This is the kind of dish that turns dinner into an event. Serve the crunchwrap warm, straight from the oven, with generous scoops of the creamy dip. Set out bowls of salsa, guacamole, and fresh chopped tomatoes so everyone can add their favorites. A simple side salad or cilantro-lime rice makes it a full meal, but honestly, it’s pretty perfect all on its own. Leftovers (if there are any!) are delicious the next day, especially topped with an extra dollop of dip and fresh herbs.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Wrap any remaining slices tightly or store them in an airtight container. They’ll keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dip can also be stored separately in the refrigerator.

Freezing

For longer storage, freeze individual portions wrapped in foil and placed in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll reheat best if thawed overnight in the fridge.

Reheating

To reclaim the crunch, reheat slices in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until fully warmed and crispy. The microwave works in a pinch but won’t give quite the same crisp texture.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can roast the chicken and veggies, and mix up the dip a day in advance. When you’re ready to eat, simply assemble and bake the crunchwrap. It saves serious time on busy days.

What’s the best way to keep the crunchwrap crispy?
The key is to use melted butter on the baking sheet, weigh the tortillas down while baking, and transfer the chicken and veggies without excess liquid. These steps guarantee a crunchy, golden exterior.

Can I swap out the cheese or chips?
Of course! Use a blend of cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for extra flavor. Tortilla strips or regular tortilla chips can stand in for nacho cheese chips if that’s what you have.

What if I can’t find large tortillas?
No problem. Slightly smaller tortillas will work fine—just add an extra one or two around the edge to ensure good coverage and prevent leaks.

Final Thoughts

This Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Crunchwrap turns the classic Tex-Mex experience into a one-pan, crowd-pleasing dinner with serious wow factor.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Crunchwrap

  • 3 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 medium onions
  • 4 pieces bell peppers (yellow, red, green, orange)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 9 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 3 cups nacho cheese tortilla chips

Dip

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons green chilies (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional Garnishes

  • Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Fresh chopped tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot when you’re ready to roast the chicken and vegetables.
  2. Prepare Chicken and Vegetables: Slice the chicken breasts, onions, and bell peppers into strips. Place them in a large bowl, add taco seasoning and olive oil, and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Roast Chicken and Vegetables: Spread the chicken and veggie mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 25 minutes. After roasting, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Use tongs to transfer the cooked mixture—avoid pouring as excess liquid can make the crunchwrap soggy.
  4. Prepare the Dip: While the chicken is roasting, make the dip by stirring together sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning, green chilies, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate the dip to let the flavors meld.
  5. Layer Tortillas on Baking Sheet: Spread melted butter on another large baking sheet. Place 1 tortilla in the center and arrange 6 tortillas around the edges of the pan, overlapping so edges hang over the pan to cover fully.
  6. Add Filling: Sprinkle half the grated cheddar cheese on the tortilla base, then layer half of the chicken and veggie mix. Add all of the nacho cheese tortilla chips, then layer the rest of the chicken mixture and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Close the Crunchwrap: Fold the overhanging tortillas over the filling toward the center. Place the two remaining tortillas on top to cover any exposed filling.
  8. Weigh and Bake: Cover the crunchwrap with wax paper or parchment paper. Top with another pan and, if needed, weigh down with a cast iron skillet to keep the tortillas sealed. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
  9. Serve: Slice the sheet pan crunchwrap and serve hot with the homemade dip on the side and your choice of salsa, guacamole, and fresh chopped tomatoes.

Notes

  • Transfer the chicken and veggie mix with tongs to avoid excess liquid and a soggy base.
  • Use a heavy pan or skillet on top to keep the crunchwrap tightly sealed during baking.
  • You can customize the filling by adding corn, black beans, or different cheeses.
  • Taste and adjust the dip seasoning if needed before serving.
