Ingredients
2 large whole-grain tortillas – High in fiber and better for sustained energy than regular flour tortillas.
1 chicken breast (200g) – Boneless and skinless for lean protein.
1 cup mixed greens – Spinach, arugula, or kale add vitamins and antioxidants.
1 small avocado, sliced – A great source of healthy fats and creaminess.
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved – Adds a burst of flavor and vitamin C.
¼ cup shredded carrots – For crunch and beta-carotene.
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt – A protein-rich, low-fat alternative to sour cream.
1 tbsp olive oil – For cooking the chicken.
½ tsp smoked paprika – Adds depth and smokiness.
½ tsp garlic powder – For an extra layer of flavor.
Salt and pepper
Directions
- Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt in the center. Layer the mixed greens, shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices evenly on top. Add the sliced chicken breast.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling. Slice in half for easier eating.
- For extra flavor and a crispy texture, lightly toast the wrap in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.
Notes
- Pair with a side of sweet potato fries or a light quinoa salad for a balanced meal. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or a squeeze of fresh lime for added zest.
