How to Make HEALTHY DINNER RECIPE | WRAP | WEIGHT LOSS | EASY | CHICKEN | SIMPLE | LOW CARB I HIGH PROTEIN I

1. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced chicken breast with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly browned.
3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt with lime juice and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Warm the low carb tortillas in another dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
5. Assemble the wraps by spreading a tablespoon of the yogurt sauce on each tortilla, then layering shredded romaine, diced tomatoes, red onion, and the cooked chicken.
6. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then roll tightly to enclose the filling. Slice in half diagonally for easier handling.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use thinly sliced chicken for faster cooking and better texture.
• Warm tortillas just before assembling to prevent tearing.
• Customize with your favorite low carb veggies like avocado or bell peppers.
• Marinate chicken briefly if you have extra time for deeper flavor.
• Use fresh lime juice for the sauce to brighten the overall taste.

Storage and Reheating

You can store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the sauce separate if possible to prevent the wrap from getting soggy.

To reheat, unwrap the tortilla and warm the chicken filling in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then reassemble the wrap with fresh lettuce and sauce for the best texture.
