Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Macadamia nuts, finely chopped
- 1 medium Mango, diced
- 0.5 cup Pineapple, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tortilla wraps, whole wheat
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, cilantro, and minced garlic. Stir well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, pineapple, and red bell pepper. Toss to mix.
Warm the tortilla wraps gently in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble the wraps, lay a lettuce leaf on each tortilla. Add a few slices of cooked chicken, a spoonful of the tropical fruit mix, and a sprinkle of chopped macadamia nuts.
Drizzle a generous amount of the yogurt dressing on top, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to form the wrap.
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper or foil for an on-the-go meal.
