Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder on both sides.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
To make the salsa, dice the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Combine them in a bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the tomato mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
Slice the avocado into thin pieces.
Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat, and spread a tablespoon of sour cream evenly over the surface.
Layer the tortilla with shredded lettuce, a few slices of avocado, a generous spoonful of salsa, and the cooked chicken strips.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, and then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for a meal on the go.
