SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN WRAPS
I LOVE wraps. I found this one on the internet, just a while ago. It's very good, especially if you like spicy, if you don't you can just omit the hot sauce. It's better than a plain on sandwich any time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are fresh and of good quality. This will ensure that your wraps are tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will add extra depth and complexity to the wraps. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano, or try a more elaborate marinade with a variety of spices and herbs like cumin, paprika, chili powder, and cilantro.
- Cook the chicken properly: Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly to prevent any foodborne illnesses. You can grill, pan-fry, or bake the chicken, depending on your preference. For grilled chicken, cook over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Use fresh and flavorful tortillas: The tortillas are the foundation of your wraps, so make sure to use fresh, high-quality tortillas. Corn tortillas or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference. You can also warm the tortillas slightly before assembling the wraps to make them more pliable.
- Add a variety of toppings: The beauty of wraps is that they can be customized to your liking. Add a variety of toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, crumbled cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. You can also add some fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Southwestern grilled chicken wraps are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. With a flavorful marinade, properly cooked chicken, fresh tortillas, and a variety of toppings, you can create a wrap that is sure to satisfy your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that's packed with flavor, give these southwestern grilled chicken wraps a try!
