Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup corn (canned or grilled)

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

      Prepare the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the warmed tortillas on a clean surface. Start with a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a few slices of chicken, diced tomatoes, avocado, corn, black beans, and fresh cilantro.

          Add Zest and Creaminess: Squeeze lime juice over the fillings and add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired. For those who enjoy a kick, drizzle hot sauce to taste.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom to the top to create a secure wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

              Serve and Enjoy: Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Fresh Baja Chicken Wrap with a refreshing drink or a side of chips!
