Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces flour tortillas
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 1 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 1 ripe, sliced avocado
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. For more flavor, consider marinating for a few hours.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, dice the tomato, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the avocado.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot pan. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
To assemble the wrap, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf on the tortilla. Add sliced chicken, some diced tomato, red onion, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of the filling. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve the chipotle wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil for a portable meal option.
