Chicken and spinach wraps

Chicken and spinach wraps are a delicious and healthy meal option that packs a flavorful punch. They're quick to make and perfect for lunch or dinner. In this recipe, tender chicken breasts are combined with fresh spinach and wrapped in soft tortillas, making a well-balanced meal that is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 chicken breasts
240g
8 tortillas
370g
1 cup spinach
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by cleaning the chicken breasts and patting them dry with a paper towel. If the breasts are particularly thick, consider slicing them in half lengthwise to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking, as you’ll be searing the chicken.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your liking. Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Cook them for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Shred or Slice the Chicken:
- Once the chicken has rested, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces, or slice it thinly, depending on your preference.
5. Warm the Tortillas:
- While the chicken cools, take the tortillas and warm them up. You can do this by heating another clean skillet over medium heat and warming each tortilla for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30-45 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
6. Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place an even amount of shredded or sliced chicken onto the center of each tortilla. Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves on top of the chicken.
7. Wrap and Serve:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Slice each wrap in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:

- To add more flavor, season the chicken with your favorite spices or marinades before cooking.

- For a more well-rounded wrap, consider adding other veggies such as bell peppers, onions, or avocado slices.

- If you prefer a bit of heat, add some sliced jalapenos or a drizzle of hot sauce.

- To make the wraps more filling, you can add a layer of hummus or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

- Make sure not to overstuff the tortillas to prevent them from tearing when you roll them up.

- To keep the tortillas soft and pliable, warm them up briefly in a pan or microwave before assembling the wraps.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious chicken and spinach wraps! These wraps are a great way to incorporate more greens into your diet and can be easily customized with your favorite toppings or sauces. Serve them as a quick lunch, dinner, or even as a tasty snack for when you're on the go.
