Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 0.25 cup Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, or arugula)
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Cucumbers (sliced)
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas or sandwich bread
- 1 piece Avocado (optional, sliced)
- 0.5 cup Yogurt dressing or favorite dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for the best flavor).
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, prepare the vegetables: wash the mixed greens, slice the tomato, red onion, and cucumber, and set aside along with the avocado if using.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips or bite-size pieces.
Assemble: For a salad wrap, layer the mixed greens, sliced chicken, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and avocado on a whole wheat tortilla. Drizzle with optional yogurt dressing, then fold and wrap tightly. Alternatively, assemble the same ingredients between slices of sandwich bread or on a salad plate for a main dish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
