Spicy Chipotle Chicken Wrap with Cilantro Lime Dressing
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced chipotle peppers, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture onto the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste to make the cilantro lime dressing.
- To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon of sour cream in the center of the tortilla. Top with a quarter of the grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the fillings.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, tucking in the fillings as you go.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Serve the spicy chipotle chicken wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil for an on-the-go meal.
