Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Cheese
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
Marinade and Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Wraps
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 4 soft tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken and Marinade: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken strips in the marinade and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside, leaving pan drippings for cooking vegetables.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a splash of olive oil, then toss in sliced bell peppers and spinach leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas briefly to make them pliable. Lay them out and evenly distribute the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle shredded plant-based cheese on top while ingredients are still warm to allow melting.
- Wrap and Serve: Roll up the tortillas snugly to enclose the fillings. Optionally, return wraps to the pan for 1-2 minutes to toast the outside for a crispier finish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Use fresh minced garlic for a brighter and more intense flavor.
- Choose good-quality plant-based cheese for optimal melting.
- Avoid overfilling wraps for easier rolling and to prevent spills.
- Warm tortillas before assembling to improve pliability and flavor.
