Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 small onion, thinly sliced

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup fresh shredded lettuce

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become tender yet still retain a little crispness.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring all the flavors meld beautifully.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take each flour tortilla and lay it flat. Start by layering a generous handful of shredded lettuce in the center, followed by a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture, a few slices of avocado, and a generous spoonful of salsa. Finally, sprinkle with shredded cheese to taste.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward to enclose the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring all the ingredients stay inside, creating a secure wrap.

              Serve: Carefully slice each wrap in half on a diagonal for a nice presentation. Serve immediately with extra salsa on the side for dipping. These wraps make for a quick and enticing meal - enjoy every bite!
