Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts.

- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream on each tortilla, leaving a border around the edges.
- Divide the sliced chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion among the tortillas. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over the filling, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
- Serve the wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil for a portable meal.
