Pan-fry lean chicken breast with lime, chilli and garlic, then pile onto seeded tortilla wraps. Cool before assembling if packing for lunch

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Lunch, Supper

Time 13m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 chicken breast (approx 180g), thinly sliced at an angle
generous squeeze juice 0.5 lime
½ tsp mild chilli powder
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
2 seeded wraps
1 avocado, halved and stoned
1 roasted red pepper from a jar, sliced
a few sprigs coriander, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix the chicken with the lime juice, chilli powder and garlic.
  • Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan then fry the chicken for a couple of mins - it will cook very quickly so keep an eye on it. Meanwhile, warm the wraps following the pack instructions or, if you have a gas hob, heat them over the flame to slightly char them. Do not let them dry out or they are difficult to roll.
  • Squash half an avocado onto each wrap, add the peppers to the pan to warm them through then pile onto the wraps with the chicken, and sprinkle over the coriander. Roll up, cut in half and eat with your fingers.

AVOCADO, BACON AND SHRIMP WRAPS



Avocado, Bacon and Shrimp Wraps image

I found this recipe last year in the Chicago Tribune and have made it several times since then. It's best to use a good, smoky bacon and I prefer the lavash bread to the flour tortillas, but that's just a personal taste. Also, I usually buy the cooked shrimp when it's on sale at my store, which makes this even easier. I make one of these up in the evening, wrap in plastic wrap and throw it in my lunch bag in the morning to take to work.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large lavash flat bread or 2 large flour tortillas
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, regular or low-fat, or amount to your taste (I use more)
4 leaves lettuce
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced
1 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 lb shrimp, cooked and peeled
4 slices cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Spread the flatbreads or tortillas with mayonnaise. Lay a lettuce leaf on each; top each with avocado and tomato slices. Divide the shrimp and bacon evenly among the sandwiches; top each with the remaining lettuce. Roll the flatbread to make a tight cylinder.
  • If made ahead, wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate. I've only kept them as long as the next day, for lunch so don't know how well they'd keep any longer than that.
