Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Skinless boneless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons Chipotle powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Whole grain tortillas
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced thinly
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle powder, olive oil, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated.
2. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado flesh, Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. To assemble the wraps, lay out the whole grain tortillas and spread a generous amount of avocado dressing on each.
5. Layer the sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, and chopped romaine lettuce evenly across the tortillas.
6. Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips and distribute evenly among the wraps.
7. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling completely.
8. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep fresh for up to 2 hours.
