  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 teaspoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 avocado, sliced
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
– ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
– ¼ cup salsa or spicy ranch dressing


Instructions

Creating the Southwest Chicken Wrap is straightforward and easy. Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred it with two forks.
4. Warm Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, you can warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
5. Assemble Wraps: Start with a tortilla, placing a generous amount of shredded lettuce in the center. Add shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cheese, and chopped cilantro.
6. Add Dressings: Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt and salsa or spicy ranch dressing over the ingredients.
7. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it from the bottom up tightly to encase all the filling.
8. Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half diagonally, and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a meal on the go.

These steps will guide you in effortlessly creating this incredible wrap that is delicious and filling.
