Description
A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled spicy chicken tortilla wrap packed with fresh ingredients and bold spices.
Ingredients
- Grilled chicken breast – 2 pieces (about 300-400 grams)
- Spicy seasoning – 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
- Tortillas – 4 large (flour or corn)
- Lettuce – 1 cup, shredded
- Tomatoes – 1 cup, diced
- Avocado – 1 ripe, sliced
- Cheese – 1 cup, shredded (cheddar or your choice)
- Salsa – 1/2 cup (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: If not already grilled, season the chicken breasts with the spicy seasoning. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Warm the tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable. This will make them easier to roll.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a layer of shredded lettuce in the center, followed by diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese.
- Add the chicken: Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place them on top of the cheese layer.
- Roll the wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Ensure the wrap is secure, but not too tight to avoid squeezing out the ingredients.
- Serve: Cut the wrap in half diagonally and drizzle with salsa on top or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Customize the wrap with additional ingredients like bell peppers, onions, or hot sauce.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables or beans.
