Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 whole wheat tortilla
– 1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)
– 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
– 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers
– 1/4 cup sliced red onions
– 1/4 cup sliced avocado
– 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or sour cream
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
2. While the chicken is baking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
4. Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a thin layer of the dressing on the tortilla.
5. Add the mixed greens, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado to the tortilla.
6. Place the sliced chicken strips on top of the vegetables.
7. Fold the tortilla in half, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a wrap.
8. Cut the wrap in half and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations
– For a spicy twist, add a tablespoon of hot sauce to the dressing.
– Substitute the chicken with grilled shrimp or grilled chicken thighs for a different flavor profile.
– Use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or sprouts, to add more color and texture to your wrap.
– If you prefer a vegan option, replace the chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh.
