Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Grain-free tortillas
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Red onion, chopped
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 4 large Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 3

In the bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken strips.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado by slicing it in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a small bowl.

Step 7

Mash the avocado with a fork and squeeze the juice of half a lime over it. Stir in chopped cilantro and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 8

Place the grain-free tortillas on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for about 2-3 minutes. Be sure not to let them crisp too much.

Step 9

To assemble the tortilla: Place one lettuce leaf on each warmed tortilla.

Step 10

Add a generous spoonful of the mashed avocado mixture, followed by the cooked chicken strips.

Step 11

Top with chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 12

Squeeze additional lime juice over the top for extra flavor if desired.

Step 13

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
