Total time:

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
- Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok until hot.
- Add the onion and chicken and cook on high for about 3 minutes, turning regularly.
- Add spices, garlic, and chilli (if using). Continue to stir around for a couple more minutes.
- 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.
- Turn the oven grill on high.
- Place one wrap on a baking sheet and top with the cheese and chicken mix and cover with the other wrap.
- Cook for 2 – 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- 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.
