Instructions
Creating a flavorful Southwest Chicken Wrap is straightforward with the following steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Southwest seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow them to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
2. Cook Chicken: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Slice Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into strips for easy wrapping.
4. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the fresh vegetables by chopping the romaine lettuce, dicing the tomato, and slicing the avocado.
5. Assemble Wraps: Take one flour tortilla and layer a generous amount of romaine lettuce, chicken strips, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and shredded cheese in the center.
6. Add Sauce: Drizzle with ranch dressing or your choice of sauce for an extra kick.
7. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling in place.
8. Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining wraps with the leftover ingredients.
9. Cut and Serve: If desired, cut each wrap in half diagonally.
10. Garnish: Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra punch of flavor.
