Ingredients

- Juicy Tomatoes
- Crunchy Bell Peppers
- Low-Fat Cheese
- Greek Yogurt
- Paprika
- Garlic Powder
- Cumin
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, chop your chosen vegetables. I like to dice tomatoes, slice bell peppers, and shred the lettuce. The more colorful, the better!
- Take a whole wheat tortilla and spread a couple of tablespoons of Greek yogurt in the center. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the cooked chicken, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and a sprinkle of cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to create a secure wrap. Make sure everything is tucked in nicely!
- Place the wrap seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until it’s golden and crispy. This step enhances the crunch and flavor.
- Once toasted, remove the wrap from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half and serve with extra yogurt or salsa on the side, if desired.

Keywords: You can marinate the chicken and chop the vegetables ahead of time for a quick meal during busy weekdays. Try adding different spices or sauces like hot sauce, barbecue sauce, or even hummus to vary the flavor profile. For extra crunch, consider adding ingredients like crushed tortilla chips or sunflower seeds.
