Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced
- 1 medium lime
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Start by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips approximately 1 cm thick.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken strips to the pan and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly golden on the edges.
While the chicken is cooking, wash the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry thoroughly.
Julienne the red bell pepper and cucumber, and slice the avocado. Set these aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and squeeze the juice of half a lime over it for a fresh flavor boost.
To assemble the wraps, lay a romaine lettuce leaf flat and place a few strips of cooked chicken onto it.
Top with julienned bell pepper, cucumber, a slice of avocado, and a few cilantro leaves.
Optional: Add a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
Repeat the assembly with the remaining lettuce leaves and ingredients.
Serve the wraps immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrus kick if desired.
