Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 6 ounces) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups Cooked quinoa
- 0.5 cups Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cups Cucumber, diced
- 0.5 pieces Avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Whole-grain tortilla
- 2 tablespoons Hummus
- 1 cups Baby spinach or mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until it is evenly coated.
Cook the chicken breast on the skillet for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the wrap fillings. In a small bowl, combine cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.
Warm each whole-grain tortilla for about 15 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave to make it more pliable.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus onto each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Layer spinach or mixed greens on top of the hummus, followed by the quinoa mixture, sliced avocado, and the cooked chicken slices.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.
Slice the wrap diagonally for easy serving, and enjoy immediately.
