Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 pieces ripe avocados
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ piece red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 piece lime, juiced

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Start by drizzling the olive oil over your two boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper on top.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is resting, grab your tortillas. Warm them slightly in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Slice the chicken, and mash the ripe avocados in a bowl with lime juice, salt, and a hint of pepper until creamy.
  5. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto each tortilla. Top with the sliced chicken, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkling of Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Cut the wraps in half diagonally for presentation.
  7. Enjoy each bite delivering a burst of flavors and textures!

Notes

Letting the chicken rest is essential for juiciness! Feel free to swap in whatever veggies you have on hand.
