Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 6 ounces) Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cups Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cups Cucumber, diced
• 0.5 pieces Avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Whole-grain tortilla
• 2 tablespoons Hummus
• 1 cups Baby spinach or mixed greens

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until it is evenly coated.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breast on the skillet for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the wrap fillings. In a small bowl, combine cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.

Step 5

Warm each whole-grain tortilla for about 15 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave to make it more pliable.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus onto each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 7

Layer spinach or mixed greens on top of the hummus, followed by the quinoa mixture, sliced avocado, and the cooked chicken slices.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.

Step 9

Slice the wrap diagonally for easy serving, and enjoy immediately.
