Ingredients You’ll Need
For 3 wraps, here’s what we’ll be working with:
- 600g Chicken Breast (cut into strips; about 100g of cooked chicken per wrap)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Parsley
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 whole Lime
- Low Calorie Wraps (I love using Mission Wraps)
And for that creamy, dreamy Avocado Lime Sauce (which you can totally make in bulk):
- 100g Avocado
- 150g-200g Fat Free Yogurt (I go with Milbona)
- A handful of Coriander
- Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder to taste
- Juice of another Lime
Let’s Get Cooking!
- Marinate the Chicken: Toss those chicken strips in a mix of paprika, parsley, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let them soak in all that flavor goodness for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook It Up: Heat up a non-stick pan and cook the marinated chicken until it’s golden brown and fully cooked through. Pro tip: Don’t overcook it; you want that chicken to be juicy!
- Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, blend the avocado, yogurt, coriander, lime juice, and seasonings until you get a smooth and creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Assemble Your Wraps: Spread a good amount of the avocado lime sauce on your low-calorie wrap. Then, add the cooked chicken. You can add any extra veggies you like—I personally love adding some crunchy bell peppers or a bit of lettuce.
- Wrap and Enjoy! Roll it all up, and there you have it—a high-protein, low-calorie feast ready in no time.
