Begin by preparing the chicken. Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, then season it with black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through with an internal temperature of 165Β°F (75Β°C). Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado filling. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro to combine.
Dice the tomato and cucumber into small cubes. Set aside.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread half of the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the tortilla.
Layer half of the sliced chicken breast over the avocado.
Add half of the diced tomato and cucumber on top of the chicken.
Place 1/2 cup of spinach leaves over the mixture.
Roll the tortilla from one end to the other, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a snug wrap.
Repeat the process for the second wrap.
Cut each wrap in half before serving and enjoy your healthy, low sodium high protein wrap.
