Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 piece Avocado
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the avocado.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, hot sauce, and lime juice to create the southwestern sauce. Adjust to taste if needed.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble each wrap by layering the warm tortilla with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and several pieces of the cooked chicken.

Step 8

Drizzle the southwestern sauce over the fillings, then tightly roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Serve the wraps immediately and enjoy!
