Time 40m

Yield 8 wraps, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
2 -3 chipotle peppers (depending on your love of heat)
3 tablespoons adobo sauce (the chipotles come packed in it)
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro

3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 avocado, diced
1 head butter or 1 head iceberg lettuce, rinsed and leaves separated

Steps:

  • Heat the 2 Tbs. oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear for 6 minutes on each side until cooked through and browned all over. Move to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes. Then dice the chicken.

  • In a food processor, combine the cilantro, lime juice, chipotle peppers and the adobo sauce. Process until smooth.
  • Add the chicken back and peppers to the pan, along with the chipotle sauce. Toss until combined.

The chipotle sauce is the perfect amount of spicy. It gives the chicken a nice kick without being overpowering.
