Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 piece Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the avocado.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, hot sauce, and lime juice to create the southwestern sauce. Adjust to taste if needed.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds until pliable.
Assemble each wrap by layering the warm tortilla with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and several pieces of the cooked chicken.
Drizzle the southwestern sauce over the fillings, then tightly roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the wraps immediately and enjoy!
