Ingredients

• Tortilla - 4 large pieces
• Chicken breast - 500g, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1, sliced
• Yellow bell pepper - 1, sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Lettuce leaves - 500g, washed and torn
• Tomato - 2, sliced
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Cilantro - for garnish
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent. Add the chicken breast pieces and season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Continuously stir until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 2: Add the Vegetables

Add the red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the peppers soften. Adjust seasoning as necessary, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat and begin by layering a few lettuce leaves as the base. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the center. Add slices of tomato and avocado on top. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

Cooking Process

To enhance the texture and flavor, consider toasting the filled tortillas briefly on a heated dry skillet. This will give your wraps a slightly crisp exterior, bringing out the warmth of the filling ingredients. Pay attention to avoid over-toasting; a minute or two on each side should suffice.

Enjoying Bouvet Wraps

Once the wraps are ready, serve them warm with lime wedges for an added zing. These wraps are perfect for a quick lunch, a satisfying dinner, or a dish to bring to a picnic. They pair well with a light, crisp salad or even just on their own as a complete meal option.

Set a cooking timer to ensure you don't overcook any elements of the dish, preserving the vibrant colors and textures that make Bouvet Wraps so appealing.

Tortilla-based dishes like Bouvet Wraps are versatile and can be easily prepared to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets by substituting chicken with plant-based proteins, and ensuring you select the appropriate tortilla.
