Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Tortillas
- 1 cup Lettuce
- 1 medium (diced) Tomato
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so the chicken is evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Spread the seasoned chicken strips evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the toppings by washing and drying the lettuce, dicing the tomato, and chopping the cilantro.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the wraps. Start by spreading a small spoonful of sour cream onto each tortilla.
Add a layer of lettuce, diced tomato, and shredded cheese onto the tortilla.
Place a few pieces of baked chicken on top and drizzle with hot sauce to taste.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately.
