Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Gather all your ingredients for the tortilla wraps. Rinse the vegetables and chicken and pat them dry.
Step 2:

Cut the bell pepper into long, thin strips.
Step 3:

Slice the tomato into rounds, then cut the rounds into strips.
Step 4:

Slice the chicken breast into thin cutlets, then cut each one into strips. Try to cut across the grain so the cooked chicken stays tender.
Step 5:

Heat a skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt toward the end of cooking.
Step 6:

Heat a second dry skillet and warm the tortillas one at a time, a couple of minutes per side.
Step 7:

Make the sauce: stir the minced garlic and ground hot pepper into the sour cream. Mix well.
Step 8:

While the tortilla is still warm, spread the sauce down the center.
Step 9:

Lay down the lettuce leaves, then top them with the chicken.
Step 10:

Add the bell pepper and tomato strips on top.
Step 11:

Carefully roll the tortilla up into a tight wrap.
Step 12:

Serve the wrap whole, or cut it in half to share.

We really love this kind of stuffed flatbread wrap. Think of it as a tasty, wholesome homemade shawarma with a Mexican twist. The sour cream sauce keeps it light and low in calories, but you can switch up the sauce however you like. Try stirring sour cream together with any tomato sauce, going with classic mayo mixed with ketchup, or whipping up a mustard-based sauce. The lightest option is a yogurt sauce: just add garlic, spices, and a squeeze of lime. Beyond the bell pepper and tomato, you can wrap in shredded carrot cut into long strips, red onion sliced into half-moons, cabbage finely shredded and squeezed by hand to soften it, or avocado cut into long slices. You can even skip the chicken altogether for an all-veggie wrap. A handful of fresh herbs is always welcome, too. Serve the wraps with your favorite sauces: tomato, salsa, or guacamole.
