Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 strips turkey bacon
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken breast. Cut it into thin strips and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
While the chicken is cooking, place the turkey bacon strips on a medium-hot skillet. Cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side, then remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl, then mix in the lemon juice. This will prevent the avocado from browning and add a fresh tangy flavor.
Wash the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
To assemble the wrap, heat the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, just until warm and pliable.
Spread a thin layer of the mashed avocado over each tortilla.
Place a handful of fresh spinach leaves on top of the avocado, followed by cooked chicken strips and crumbled turkey bacon.
Add halved cherry tomatoes evenly on top.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly from the bottom to encase all ingredients, creating a neat wrap.
Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy chicken and bacon wraps!
