Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 avocados
Seasonings and Spices:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Accompaniments and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 6 flour tortilla wraps (8 inches)
- ½ cup salsa
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet to medium-high temperature, adding a thin layer of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Generously coat chicken breasts with a blend of garlic powder, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and zesty chili powder, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully place seasoned chicken into the hot skillet, cooking for 3-5 minutes on each side until the exterior develops a golden-brown crust and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove chicken from skillet and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing into thin, uniform strips.
- Lay tortillas on a clean surface, creating a foundation for the wrap’s delicious layers.
- Distribute a layer of vibrant salsa across the center of each tortilla, providing a zesty base flavor.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the salsa, creating a melty foundation.
- Arrange tender chicken strips atop the cheese, ensuring even distribution.
- Layer thin, creamy avocado slices over the chicken, adding a rich, buttery texture.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla upward, then carefully fold in the sides to create a secure envelope.
- Gently roll the wrap tightly, ensuring the fillings remain compact and contained.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and place the wraps seam-side down, grilling for 2-3 minutes until a crisp, golden-brown exterior forms.
- Flip wraps carefully, cooking the opposite side until cheese melts and tortilla becomes crispy.
- Serve immediately, accompanied by additional salsa or cool sour cream for dipping.
