Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 6 ounces) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Whole-grain tortilla (8-inch)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Black beans (low-sodium, rinsed and drained)
- 0.25 piece Fresh avocado, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat, optional as a topping)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, then sprinkle it evenly with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cook the chicken breast in the preheated skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Warm the whole-grain tortilla in a dry skillet or the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the spinach leaves evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer the diced tomatoes, black beans, avocado slices, and cooked chicken slices over the spinach.
Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
Optional: Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy topping.
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Slice the wrap in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Southwest Chicken Wrap!
