Southwest Chicken Wrap: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning (or taco seasoning)
– 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
– 1 ripe avocado, sliced
– 1 medium tomato, diced
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– ¼ cup ranch dressing or chipotle sauce
– 4 large flour tortillas
– Lime wedges, for garnish
– Salt and pepper, to taste


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.
