Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Break it into smaller pieces once cooled.
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded Monterey cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Place the lettuce leaf on top of the cheese.
- Add the sliced chicken breast strips on top of the lettuce.
- Distribute the bacon pieces over the chicken.
- Evenly spread the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the bacon.
- Carefully roll the tortilla, folding in the sides as you go to ensure the ingredients are securely wrapped inside.
- If desired, you can toast the wrapped tortilla in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to give it a slight crunch and melt the cheese further.
- Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of fresh veggies.
Tips:
- Make sure the chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they're safe to eat.
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite Southwest seasoning blend for at least an hour before cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the wrap.
- Warm the tortilla in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds before assembling the wrap to make it more pliable and easier to fold.
- Feel free to add more veggies like bell peppers or avocados to the wrap for added nutrition and flavor.
This Southwest Chicken Bacon Wrap is a surefire way to satisfy your taste buds with minimal effort. The combination of succulent chicken, crispy bacon, fresh vegetables, and gooey cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla makes for a perfect meal at any time of the day. Enjoy your delicious wrap!
