Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large tortilla wraps
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Let it sit while preparing other ingredients.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice and chopped parsley to create the yogurt sauce. Set aside.
Lay out each tortilla wrap on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce evenly over the center of each wrap.
Layer baby spinach leaves, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion on top of the yogurt sauce, leaving space around the edges for folding.
Add a generous portion of the cooked chicken strips on top of the vegetables.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create the roll-up.
Cut each roll-up in half diagonally and serve immediately with any remaining yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
