Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup rice (white or brown)
• 2 cups water or chicken broth
• 4 pieces flour tortillas (large)
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup ranch dressing or salsa
• 1 piece lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water and combine it with 2 cups of water or chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fluffy. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Cut them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Season the chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken pieces, tossing to coat evenly.

Step 4

Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the wraps: Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a couple of tablespoons of ranch dressing or salsa in the center of the tortilla. Add about 1/4 cup of cooked rice, followed by a portion of the cooked chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Fold and secure: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 8

Serve: Slice the wraps in half, if desired, and serve with a lime wedge on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your Chicken and Rice Wraps!
