Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like texture.
In a large pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and the cauliflower rice. Cook stirring occasionally until it becomes tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove cauliflower rice from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add marinated chicken and cook over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely slice the red bell pepper. Thinly slice the avocado.
Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry; these will serve as your wrap base.
To assemble the wraps: Lay a large lettuce leaf flat and spoon a small portion of cauliflower rice onto it. Add a few strips of chicken, then top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado slices.
Garnish each wrap with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Roll up the lettuce leaf tightly around the fillings. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Chicken Rice Wraps!
