Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 medium-sized Zucchini
• 2 pieces Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Large whole-wheat tortillas
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole Juice of a lime

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, chili powder, and cumin.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken rests, prepare the zucchini by slicing it into thin ribbons or julienne strips. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Saute the zucchini with a pinch of salt and the minced garlic for 3-4 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Take the roasted red peppers and cut them into thin strips if they aren’t already pre-sliced.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with lime juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro to create a tangy sauce.

Step 6

To assemble the wraps, lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce across the center. Layer sliced chicken, sautéed zucchini, and roasted red peppers on top.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 8

Slice the wraps in half, if desired, and serve with any remaining yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
