Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 6 ounces) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 Whole-grain tortilla (8-inch)
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Black beans (low-sodium, rinsed and drained)
• 0.25 piece Fresh avocado, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat, optional as a topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, then sprinkle it evenly with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breast in the preheated skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

Warm the whole-grain tortilla in a dry skillet or the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 5

Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the spinach leaves evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Layer the diced tomatoes, black beans, avocado slices, and cooked chicken slices over the spinach.

Step 7

Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Optional: Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy topping.

Step 9

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

Step 10

Slice the wrap in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Southwest Chicken Wrap!
