Mexican Wraps with Grilled Chicken and Avocado

This dish combines the robust taste of grilled chicken with the creamy smoothness of avocado, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. These wraps are not only delicious but also provide a balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole-wheat tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts.
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
    • Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Assemble the Wraps:
    • Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the sliced chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and cheddar cheese (if using).
    • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
  4. Grill the Wraps:
    • Roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go.
    • Place the wraps back on the grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are slightly crispy and grill marks appear.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately.
