Delight in these vibrant Southwest chicken wraps, filled with grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and zesty toppings for a quick and satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons southwest spice blend (cumin, paprika, chili powder)
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients on your counter for easy access.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with the southwest spice blend.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and juices run clear. Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Lay out each tortilla and layer with lettuce, cheese, bell peppers, salsa, and chicken strips.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly from one end to another, folding in the sides as you go.
  7. Serve warm with extra salsa on the side.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh cilantro or parsley.
  •  Adjust spice levels by including jalapeños or using a milder salsa.
  • Use whole-wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
