Ingredients:

Total time:

35 minutes


Ingredients

  • 2 large whole wheat tortilla wraps (about 67g each)
  • 1 Tbsp. (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 (130g) skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 small red pepper, chopped
  • 1 small yellow pepper, chopped
  • 50g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp. mild chilli powder to taste, optional

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok until hot.
  2. Add the onion and chicken and cook on high for about 3 minutes, turning regularly.
  3. Add spices, garlic, and chilli (if using). Continue to stir around for a couple more minutes.
  4. Add the peppers and cook on a medium heat until they have softened. Make sure that the chicken is cooked through if the chicken is sliced thickly. This normally takes around 5 minutes.
  5. Turn the oven grill on high.
  6. Place one wrap on a baking sheet and top with the cheese and chicken mix and cover with the other wrap.
  7. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  8. Remove from the grill and cut into 8 slices.

TOP TIPS

  • Veggie variations: courgettes, grated carrots, broccoli, and chopped tomatoes.
  • Keep the vegetables as dry as possible as they can make the wrap soggy.
  • You can also use lean beef mince or tuna instead of chicken. If you use tuna, add a tsp. of lite mayo and lemon juice so that it’s not too dry.
