Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the other ingredients: slice the avocado, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.
Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once heated, grill the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the cooked chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
To assemble the wraps, place a large tortilla on a flat surface. Lay down a bed of spinach leaves, followed by the sliced chicken, avocado, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to the top.
Repeat with the second tortilla.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately.
