Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 piece avocado
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 piece red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 piece lime

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken.

Step 4

Cook the chicken breasts in the preheated skillet for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

While the chicken rests, prepare the toppings: dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.

Step 7

Lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat on a serving surface. Use 2-3 leaves per wrap for sturdiness, if needed.

Step 8

Divide the sliced chicken evenly among the lettuce leaves.

Step 9

Top each wrap with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the wraps for a tangy finish.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Southwest Chicken Wraps.
