Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 piece avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 piece red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken.
Cook the chicken breasts in the preheated skillet for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, prepare the toppings: dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.
Lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat on a serving surface. Use 2-3 leaves per wrap for sturdiness, if needed.
Divide the sliced chicken evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Top each wrap with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and fresh cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the wraps for a tangy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Southwest Chicken Wraps.
