Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat large tortillas
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. While heating, brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season evenly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, honey, and cilantro to make the tangy dressing. Adjust sweetness or lime according to taste.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas slightly on the pan or microwave for 15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Slice the grilled chicken thinly. To assemble each wrap, spread 2 tablespoons of the yogurt-lime dressing onto the tortilla, add a handful of spinach leaves, some carrot slices, avocado slices, and top with sliced chicken.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one side to seal the wrap.
- Slice each wrap diagonally and serve immediately or wrap in foil for meal prep or packed lunches.
- Optional: Serve with extra yogurt dressing or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
Chef tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute grilled chicken with grilled tofu or roasted chickpeas.
- If you don’t have smoked paprika, substitute with regular paprika or chili powder for a mild kick.
- Use spinach or any mild leafy green like baby kale or arugula depending on preference.
- Ensure the avocado is ripe but firm to avoid a mushy wrap; if you want extra creaminess, mash the avocado before spreading.
Pros
- High-protein meal suitable for active kids and adults.
- Quick and easy to prepare with minimal cooking time.
- Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins from fresh vegetables and avocado.
Cons / watch-outs
- Contains dairy from Greek yogurt, which may not suit lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Needs fresh ingredients to keep the wrap fresh and avoid sogginess if stored for too long.
