Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the chicken to the pan. Season generously with minced garlic and chili powder, cooking for about 8–10 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, reduce the heat to low and drizzle fresh lime juice over the sizzling chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly, allowing it to absorb the tangy flavor. Cook for an additional minute, letting the lime juice caramelize slightly for a delicious glaze.
  3. Lay out your whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Begin layering your spicy chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add your chosen toppings, such as crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocado.
  4. Once you’ve layered the fillings, fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice each wrap in half for easy handling. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for meal prep.
