Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Main Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly into strips
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced
- 4 large soft flour tortillas
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, or arugula)
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
Marinade and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Binding and Finishing
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the chicken marinates, cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy but not burnt. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil and set aside.
- Sear the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until golden, crispy on the outside, and cooked through.
- Prep the Veggies and Cheese: While chicken cooks, thinly slice tomatoes, avocado, and red onions. Shred or slice the plant-based cheese. Wash and prepare the mixed greens.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay tortillas flat, spread mayonnaise in the center, then layer with mixed greens, chicken strips, crispy turkey bacon, tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and plant-based cheese. Fold sides in and roll tightly to secure all fillings.
- Optional Toasting: For extra crispness and melted cheese, toast the assembled wraps in a clean skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and warm.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken to ensure juicy and flavorful meat.
- Cook chicken in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan and maintain crispiness.
- Use thick, fresh tortillas to prevent sogginess and hold fillings better.
- Include creamy avocado to balance crunchy textures from chicken and bacon.
- Lightly toast wraps after assembling to seal flavors and add crunch.
