Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
- 1 medium Tomato (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Avocado (diced)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 4 pieces Tortillas (large flour)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry and cut them into thin strips.
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over them. Stir to coat the chicken.
Cook the chicken strips for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked and slightly browned. Add the lime juice during the last minute of cooking. Set the chicken aside.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the lettuce, dicing the tomato and avocado, and thinly slicing the red onion.
Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, lay a warmed tortilla flat and spread a small spoonful of sour cream in the center.
Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, red onion slices, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced avocado.
Top the vegetables with a portion of the cooked chicken strips.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve the wraps immediately with a side of salsa or tortilla chips, if desired.
