Ingredients
- 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves butter lettuce leaves
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thinner fillets.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the chicken fillets with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Step 5
Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 6
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado mash: cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Step 7
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 8
To assemble the wraps, place two lettuce leaves slightly overlapping each other on a clean surface for each wrap.
Step 9
Spread a portion of the avocado mash onto each prepared lettuce base.
Step 10
Top with sliced chicken, red bell pepper strips, cherry tomato halves, and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
Step 11
Gently fold the sides of the lettuce wraps over the filling and enjoy immediately.
