Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon chili powder

Wrap Fillings

6 flour tortilla wraps (8 inches)
½ cup salsa
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 avocados, sliced

Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts on the top side with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. When the oil is hot and you hear a sizzle, add the chicken breasts to the skillet, seasoned side down. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until browned, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Slice the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, slice each breast into thin strips to prepare for the wraps.
Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a cutting board or baking sheet. Evenly divide the salsa, spreading it down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the salsa, then add avocado slices. Top each with sliced chicken strips.
Wrap the tortillas: Carefully fold the bottom edge of each tortilla up over the fillings, then fold in the sides to enclose the ingredients, creating a wrapped bundle.
Grill the wraps: Using the same skillet, add more oil or spray the outside of the wraps lightly with cooking spray if needed. Place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Press down gently and cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Serve immediately, optionally with extra salsa or sour cream on the side.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that the juices run clear.
If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a pinch more chili powder or some hot sauce to the salsa.
Adding a splash of lime juice over the avocado slices can prevent browning and add a fresh citrus note.
Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
These wraps can be customized by adding other vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, or onions if desired.
