Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Coconut wraps or other grain-free wraps
• 1 large Bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the chicken breasts with half of the olive oil and season evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 5 minutes or until they're softened and slightly charred.

Step 7

Lay out two coconut wraps and evenly distribute the sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and avocado over them.

Step 8

Place another coconut wrap on top of each to form quesadillas.

Step 9

Transfer the quesadillas onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until the wraps are slightly crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, cut into wedges, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve warm with lime wedges on the side.
