Meals that are part of a high-protein diet could taste bland. Not anymore. Are you suffering from the too-much-chicken-breasts Syndrome? Then spice it up with this recipe.
Let your taste-buds dance to the tunes of Mexican Mariachis -minus the tequila- in my version of Spicy Chicken Tortillaaaaaaas. They're great, juicy, and definitely a powerhouse of muscle-building protein and complex carbs to fuel your engines with quality calories that will make you last, and last, and last...
What makes this so good?
- Ready off-the-shelf condiments are loaded with empty calories and artificial ingredients you can't even pronounce. Stray away from those. This one's all natural.
- The greek yogurt gives an extremely healthy and low-calorie juiciness to the sandwich
- It's high in protein and dietary fiber, which will keep your hunger at bay for several hours to come and prevent you from binging and nibbling around.
Down to business.
Ingredients
- 1 whole wheat oat tortilla (check the notes for availability in Lebanon)
- 120 grams grilled chicken breast cut into strips
- Grilled vegetables (I use broccoli, carrots and peppers but you can be creative)
- Two tablespoons of greek yogurt
- Cayenne pepper
- Mrs.Dash salt-free seasoning or any other spices of your choice
Directions
- Heat the tortilla on a grill.
- Add heated chicken and vegetables on the tortilla
- Mix a dash of cayenne pepper with a teaspoon of Mrs.Dash, or other spices, with the greek yogurt and then add on top of the chicken and vegetables on the sandwich
- Wrap, eat and enjoy!
Notes:
- Both the Cayenne Pepper and the Mrs. Dash can be found in Lebanon at O&C fresh market in Jal el Dib. I added a picture for your reference.
- I couldn't really find whole-wheat tortillas in Lebanon, so I used a great alternative which tastes great and can be found at most supermarkets on the bread shelves: it's oat/whole wheat flour tannour bread.
Great Idea; will try... Tx :)
