Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Cooked lentils
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 6 pieces Small tortillas (6-inch size)
- 0.5 cup Grated cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
Shred the cooked chicken into small pieces using two forks and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked lentils with ground cumin, chili powder, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well.
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded chicken and spiced lentils onto each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of grated cheese.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly crispy and the cheese is melted.
Slice each rolled tortilla into 3-4 bite-sized pieces and arrange on a serving platter.
Serve warm with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on the side for dipping.
