Herbed chicken and roasted red pepper tortilla wraps are a delicious and healthy meal option that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They combine tender, flavorful chicken with smoky roasted peppers, all wrapped in a soft tortilla for easy eating.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by roasting the red pepper. Place the whole pepper on a baking sheet and broil until the skin is charred, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally to evenly blacken all sides. Once roasted, place the pepper in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin and slice the roasted pepper into strips.
While the pepper is roasting, prepare the chicken. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable. Spread the sliced chicken and roasted red pepper strips evenly across each tortilla. Add fresh herbs if desired for extra flavor.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to create a compact wrap. Slice in half diagonally if preferred for easier eating.
Serving Suggestions
These wraps can be served immediately or wrapped in foil for an on-the-go meal. Pair with a side salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks for a complete and satisfying meal.
Enjoy your herbed chicken and roasted red pepper tortilla wraps as a flavorful and nutritious option that everyone will love!
