Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large avocados, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 whole wheat or flour tortillas (or any wrap of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips or cubes. This helps retain the juices, keeping the chicken tender and flavorful.
Step 2: Prepare the Veggies and Avocado
- Slice the Veggies: While the chicken is resting, slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion. Shred the lettuce and set all of the vegetables aside.
- Optional: If you prefer a tangy finish, drizzle the sliced avocado with a little lime juice to prevent browning and add an extra burst of flavor.
Step 3: Assemble the Wrap
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side to make them more pliable. This step ensures that the tortillas don’t tear when wrapping the fillings.
- Add the Fillings: On each warmed tortilla, spread a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt (if using). Layer on the shredded lettuce, followed by the sliced chicken, avocado, tomato, and red onion.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly, ensuring that the fillings stay neatly inside.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve: Slice the wrap in half at a diagonal and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro for added color and flavor.
