Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 cutting board
- 1 aluminum foil or parchment paper optional for wrapping
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts About 1 pound total.
- 4 whole wheat tortillas 10 inches in size.
- 1 ripe avocado Sliced.
- 1 cup lettuce Shredded.
- 1 medium tomato Diced.
- ½ cup shredded cheese Cheddar or Mexican blend.
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt Used as a substitute for sour cream.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- as desired fresh lime wedges For serving (optional).
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
- Lay out a tortilla and begin layering the sliced chicken, avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and shredded cheese.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges if desired, or wrap in aluminum foil or parchment paper for later.
Notes
You can customize the filling by adding your favorite vegetables or beans for extra fiber.
These wraps can also be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge, without the yogurt, to keep them fresh.
For a spicy kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
